After trying the steps, if issue persists, refer the following link to check the computer’s warranty status: http://dell.to/10pMa86

If the computer has an active warranty, please send me the service tag and registered owner’s name on the computer in a Private Message. To send me a Private Message, click my User name, and then click Start Conversation.

If the warranty on the computer has expired, you may contact our expired warranty services to purchase/replace the compatible parts. Please refer the following link that has contact details for our Expired Warranty Services: http://dell.to/14FoBtb

First thing to do is check the heatsink if there is even a thin layer of dust on it, it needs to be cleaned.
