Why is it that when I put in sleep mode and come back out of it it works fine? Everytime I use this process it works fine.. Hmmm.

Try a hardware forum.

Fan is controlled by the BIOS not by Windows. I've had a similar problem after a BIOS update on a Dell, only in reverse. It is fine when first booted up, and after stanby the fan runs at a meduim speed constantly. Rebooting corrects it. So far, Dell doesn't have an answer for it. Putting the old HDD back in with the original Windows install, before the BIOS update made no difference so it is definately a hardware/motherboard/BIOS update issue.. I would say, that's what you have also, a hardware/BIOS issue if it isn't getting to hot from partially blocked (dusty) CPU heatsink.
