DELL XPS 1645 Fan runs constantly,

I have tried every thread here and seen no answers only the issues with throttle.  I have updated to the A12 bios and all other drivers are up to date.  The fan even runs just using Internet explorer.  Heaven forbid that I turn open 2 windows at once and or op, op, hold you breath, turn on a card game. Does anybody else has this issue and is it a defect or do we have to live with this fan always on.  If so I am swapping this out!  Any reply would help and fixes muchly appreciated!

George

The system is: i7 proccessor 1.6,  500 hd, 6 gig ram and the ati 1gib video card with win 7 64bit

I have the same problem with Studio 1558 and Vostro 3300.  Since it affects so many models, I suspect it is an Intel management driver / Dell BIOS issue.  Wouldn't it be nice for a Dell executive to respond here to the thousands of fan issue related posts. 

a little reciprocation is in order

Make sure that the fan, fan filter and rear heat sink are dust free.  You may need to do this every week or two.  I was having the same problem and these simple actions turned it from an overheating nightmare into a machine that would run at full speed and then return to 49-54 degrees in moments.

The full speed fan issue just started for me. Thanks to WMB194's advice, I removed the back of my XPS 1645 and used canned air to clean the fan area and exit port. I only saw very light dust on the back of the cover panel but none around the fan (odd). This seemed to quell the full speed fall issue. FYI, I have a 3-M static mat at my desk to prevent any static discharge issues when working with equipment and I use a laptop cooler with a very large fan.

I think everyone here is savvy enough to have tried that.
