Your Dell computer can overheat because of insufficient air flow due to dust or debris blocking the air vents, exhaust ports, or a clogged fan. An overheating computer can intermittently restart, shutdown, or exhibit slow performance issue and can eventually cause damage to the internal components.

When the computer overheats, you might experience symptoms like:

• Fans inside the computer become louder as they start spinning faster to remove excess heat.
• The computer may intermittently shutdown or restart.
• System performance reduces unexpectedly.
• The computer may stop responding or performance reduces while playing games.
• Startup error messages such as:
  • Alert! Air Temperature Sensor Not Detected.
  • Fan, heat sink, or air temperature related error message.

Resolution

Inspect and clean the air vents and fans

Restart the computer

Update the BIOS and Chipset driver

Download and install Microsoft Windows updates

Run a hardware diagnostic test

Use Dell Power Manager to manage thermal performance (applicable for select Dell laptops)

Improve efficiency to reduce heat

Perform a Windows System Restore

Restore the computer to factory defaults
