Update on this thread. Dell sent me a new fan and heatsink modules. I've installed them. The fan has LARGER fins yes... Larger then what I have before. apparently they recognized this problem. So for you older xps m1210 users. Be ready...

That was the one I used the latest on their site. This has started since A06 I didn't pay attention to it. Until I started playing my games and my laptop got extra crispy.

Yea it pretty much start happening here after windows update. Other than that before that the machine was excellent. But my cpu is at 0 Percent and 1ghz in most of these instances.

Results of what you told me to do Is that a normal temp? The fan stays on low it seems.

I forgot to post as well. That Speedstep IS NOT WORKING. I checked the bios its on. Any drivers? Windows XP MCE 2005.

You know I reloaded windows after this screen shot the problem remains. It seems that Speedstep isn't down clocking my cpu. I don't know What the F*** to do anymore. Installed speed fan and ranning fan at full speed. Brings temps down...
