CPU Fan RPM Settings going bonkers?

It seems like every other time i go into hibernation or standy-by mode after coming out of it the CPU Fan runs at its max RPM. I have tried to change it back to the previous setting i had it at within Abit GURU and even BIOS but the only thing that works is if i turn off the power source (or unplug it) and then after "clearing" the computer of the power and turn it back on the CPU Fan RPM settings would be back to what i had set it.

I am using Windows XP PRO and i have the Abit Pro version of our motherboards. Is there any solution other than clearing its power? It is quite annoying because i enjoy the quietness when the CPU Fan is not running at its fastest. Also quite annoying to have to clear its power when it does occur.

Ugh.
