1. Are you overclocking? If so, try bringing it back to stock speeds.

2. Have you reformatted the drive or at least uninstalled all the bloatware that Dell installs by default?

3. Try updating your video drivers. I'm not sure which are the best right now but maybe someone else here can tell you what they're using.

I use the dell's video driver that you could download from their support site and it has been working flawlessly. I usually play BF2 for 4+ hours straight and more without a hitch. Here's the link.
