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.
