Hi Bensd,

There are three troubleshooting steps that I would suggest. Please follow the steps mentioned bellow.

1. Cleaning the Vents:
-- Check the vents on the computer to see if they are covered with dust and not allowing heat and air to pass through.
-- Turn off the System.
-- Unplug the AC Adapter.
-- Remove the Battery, for instructions on how to remove the battery see the Service Manual.
-- Use Compressed Air to blow the dust out of the vents.

2. Update the BIOS:
An out of date BIOS can cause heat issues by having an outdated temperature table for the system.
Visit the Dell Drivers and Downloads website and input your Service Tag to get updates specific to your computer.
If you need assistance in downloading and updating the BIOS,
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriversHome/NeedProductSelection?
-- Enter the service tag of the computer and choose the Operating System.

3. Hardware Diagnostics Check:
-- Shut down the computer.
-- Disconnect all the peripherals from the computer. (If it is a desktop, only the monitor, keyboard, mouse and the power cable should be connected. In case it is a laptop only the ac adaptor).
-- Restart the computer and keep tapping F12.
-- It takes you to the One Time Boot Menu.
-- Select Diagnostics and press Enter.
If the test fails capture the error code and get back to us, I would let you know the next course of action.
