solution for a 'crazy fan' after suspend/resume

My HP 620 laptop works well, but after I put it into Suspend mode and
then resume activity, the fan goes to maximum speed and will not stop
until I turn the power off. This is not good, for the obvious reasons
that it forces me to do full shutdown and restart and increases wear
on the fan. I'd like to go to job interviews with everything loaded
and arranged, put the laptop to sleep then open quickly at the proper
time, if needed.

Hibernation does not seem to work either, at least I have not yet been
able to successfully restore a session from hibernation. Note this is
a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04

I am looking at this advice (

) but would like to know if there are other solutions that might work
better.
