Same issue here on a Latitude D630 with an 'nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 135M (rev a1)'. Driver 177 causes the fan to repeatedly turn on (4 seconds) and off (half a second). Reverting to driver 173, using the Hardware Drivers application, stops the issue after a reboot. I would hazard a guess that the nvidia driver is continually increasing the fan speed to full, whilst another driver is correcting the fan speed, thus causing the intermittent changes.

Currently version 177 is marked as Recommended. If this is a common issue, and cannot be resolved due to the closed nature of this package, should the 173 driver be marked as Recommended?
