Answer #1
Basically,You’ll need to open it up,Clean up all the dust in general (and from the CPU fan too),And also clean up
the old thermal paste and apply a new one,If you have no prior experience in these things,You’d be best sending
it for repairs (if still under warranty) or let a local PC shop take care of it for you.
Answer #2
How old is it ? If it’s still in warranty get Dell to have a look.
Answer #3
Thx, it’s under warranty, so i will take it to repair. Old around 6-7 month’s, it’s irritating everything work and in the middle of process shut down…
Answer #4
Before sending it for repairs,Might be a good idea to backup your data to be on the safe side,If I was in your shoes,I’d also wipe it
clean (DBAN) and reinstall the OS,But that’s just me,I wouldn’t trust strangers with my data.
