If this is an old E6520, it could be in need of maintenance -- it's about a decade old, and if the system has never been internally cleaned (along with having the thermal pads replaced), the cooling system is likely not doing its job.
It's also true that you should make sure your Intel chipset drivers are up to date. Though Dell doesn't support Windows 10 on this hardware, Intel should have drivers for most of the internal hardware.
On some of these older e6xxx series Latitudes, I have used the newest drivers available, id est Windows 8.1-64bit. I have gotten mine running Windows 10 Pro just fine.
