it spins slower because since you installed the game to the hard drive, the console dosen't have to work as hard to run the game so it saves energy by lowering the fan speed

If you're concerned about it you could always put an inner-cooler fan on the back.

the fans didnt get quieter, i think you're hearing a noise level reduction from the dvd drive because the game is being played from the hard drive. feel free to correct me if im wrong

My 360 will NOT shut down, or I should say that the fan never stops after powering down. I know I can simply unplug the console, but I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this.

I think the sound that you are missing is the spinning of the disc, not the spinning of the fan. And BTW, here is the reason not to install Halo 3 to your HDD. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/932/932273p1.html

Lol you should choose the wording of your topic a little more carefully. Saying "XBox 360 fans don't work" sounds like saying "People who are fans of the xbox 360 don't have jobs".

Make sure that you have background downloads disabled and also make sure that you don't have any controllers connected that might be charging. If neither of those fixes the problem then I have no idea what's wrong. :/
