Laptop fan on full after return from hibernation

Acer 5610 laptop 1gb ram, about 2 years old, no problems with fluff buildup on the fan (i've looked) or processor (I've looked).
Windows XP Home SP3
Sometimes it comes up from hibernation (after maybe 8 or 12 hours) with the fan running full on, and it doesn;t slow or stop however long i leave it. Closing running progs makes no odds to this
if i then shut down fully, and restart, (NOT just a warm reboot nb), it comes up as normal, whirr whirr a bit while it's doing the hard stuff, then settles down to "normal" operation, coming on as and when it needs to under load.
It's doing it now, in fact, so I'll post this, shut down completely and restart.
Ideas then ?

Switch it off each day or when you aren't using it.

I'm inviting help on why this might happen , rather than a debate on the merits of how I choose to manage my computer

A bit of Googling suggests this is a known problem with some Acer lappys. Try <a href="http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30637029/fan-runs-at-high-speed-af.aspx">this</a> for starters, although it might not help much.

It doesn't happen every time, but what I failed to put in my original post was that it does seem to occur more often after I've booted a linux with dodgy acpi support ... so i guess that something pretty low-level is being disturbed. But then it'll be fine for ages again, even including after a bit of penguin-fiddling.

I've never had this issue though, what flavour of Linux do you use?
The only times I have had issues was when ACPI was broken in a Ubuntu 6 beta.
Sorry can't be much help..
