Similiar thing happened to me with the XPS 1710. Discovered my heating problems related solely to dust that had collected within the cooling fans at either side of the laptop. If you aren't arleady cleaning them out once every six months it might be worth a shot. As I said, I had similiar problems with crashing caused by overheating and removing the clumps of dust/fluff resolved the problem.
