Yesterday i found a solution. I'm sitting here in a hotel with my Dell on windows 7 in battery mode and the fan shows 0 RPM.
The trick is to install the video driver from Dell's website and after that you should shutdown your Dell and reject the battery. Press the ON button to clear all capacitors, wait 5 minutes and put the battery back in.
After that my fan shows 0 rpm and doesn't start up. This is on battery (no AC). I will test it now with AC on

Hi Greg,
I recommend you to flash BIOS from the support website. Click on the link below, enter the system service tag to get the latest BIOS.

Let me know the status after the BIOS update.

Same problem here! After installing Windows 7 the fan doesn't spin off. A10 Bios is installed.

Sorry to say but I eventually gave up and reinstalled windows 8. Shame.
