Answer» hey,
I have this huge problem with my Dell Inspiron 5100 running windows XP...it shuts down all the TIME. I'm guessing that it is an overheating problem, because it definitely gets really hot and it seems to help if i keep it by the window (with cold air blowing on it) and not on a flat surface. I am not sure what to do to resolve this issue, so any input WOULD really help me out. Thanks in advance!!When you turn your computer on, you SHOULD hear the fan start... Do you hear it?
[glb]Flame[/glb]Is this 5100 still under warranty? If so, contact Dell. My 5100 was overheating and the motherboard ACTUALLY melted to the processor(to describe it midly). Dell replaced it with no problems, EVEN though it was purchased as a refurbished unit.
