heat problems
I'm using the dell inspiron 7420 14 inch model, and I'm experiencing some heating problems (60~70ºc ) when I leave my laptop idle.
The computer still runs smoothly, but the boot up time is getting way to long.
Can anyone help me with my problems? I'm looking for configuration of software solutions for both the boot and heating issues,
not like adding a cooling fan or something. Thanks!

Hi Aegis_1112,
Welcome to Dell Community Forum.
Please click on the link below for troubleshooting heating issues on your Dell Laptop. This article provides information about overheating and system shutdowns, which may occur due to dust accumulation, out of date BIOS, or improper usage environment.

An out of date BIOS can cause heat issues by having an outdated temperature table for the system.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 by clicking on this link http://dell.to/XULgT1 . Enter your Service Tag and update the BIOS.
Plug your computer to a good, working UPS before you update the BIOS. If you experience a loss of AC power or a significant voltage sag/spike during the BIOS flash, you will either have to replace the BIOS chip or motherboard. Disconnect all external peripherals and ensure there is no cd/dvd in the optical drive prior to updating the BIOS on your computer.
Please reply if you have further queries.
Thanks and regards,
Babita S
