On both my desktop and now laptop I notice that my system stays running with the screen blacked and the fan running on high for several seconds (~10-30) after I hit the "sleep" button on W7. I've never had this happen on with any of my previous computers, even on the ones that ran W7. Anyone know why it does this?

There are two ways to handle sleep, the older way which only disables the monitor and the hard drive and the newer way which suspends to RAM or suspends to disk. Since ACPI is newer it may be conflicting with a piece of your hardware or your BIOS is outdated. Or, you could disable ACPI if it really bothers you

My BIOS is most definitely outdated, I know that much.
