Shabbaman, your CPU fan should always be on. At least, it's always on for my E6600.
The Vista "powered off but not really" thing is a common annoyance and can be reset correctly.
Use memtest for the ram if you want to be sure, but since you're not having problems, you are probably ok.
Oh, and according to a magazine article I read, CIV works flawlessly in Vista.

You're probably right about the memtest, good thing to do with new memory.
But why should the cpu fan be always on? I've managed to get this huge clump of metal screwed on top of it (barely, stupid plastic clamps), which should be able to lead most of it's heat away. I've set it's speed to be adapted to the CPU temperature. And when I turned off the "fan not working" alert, I had no more alerts. For the interested people among you (everybody besides paal I guess), it's an Arctic Freezer pro 7.
I haven't tried to install civ4 yet, that has to wait until tomorrow because I'm really tired and I need to get some sleep. No pitboss for me today, unfortunately
