XPS 13 overheating when VGA adapter connected to USB-C port
Just bought XPS 13 (9350) updated to latest BIOS 1.3.3.
When I connect USB-C to VGA adapter - in a minute left side of PC starts to overheat, fans starts spinning intensively and battery forecast drops from 13 hours to 1.5h..
I don't even connect a monitor to the adapter, and not connected to OS, as this happens logging into BOIS as well..
If I unplug the adapter - in 30 seconds PC cools down, fans stop.
Is this a normal? It seems I cannot even connect a projector without plugging PC for charging during 1.5h meeting.
I saw some similar issues with XPS 15 here http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19676323/20899854#20899854
Anyone faced something similar? Or my device is somehow broken?
