How To Stop Your New Dell Laptop From Overheating & Shutting Down
How To Stop Your New Dell Laptop From Overheating & Shutting Down
Yes, I know this isn’t a tech blog; I get it. However, in order to be able to function normally again, I recently had to solve a nagging issue with my new Dell Inspiron 13-5378 laptop running Windows 10. My laptop began overheating and shutting down (coincidentally, just after a BIOS update); not a good thing when you use your laptop for business presentations, as I do.
The reason I’m posting the solution to this problem on my leadership and management blog is because I discovered it on my own. As far as I can tell, there are no other resources online showing this solution; so, thought I should share it with anyone else who’s tried virtually everything to get their new Dell laptop to stop shutting down on its own.
Some Quick Background:
The laptop was relatively new – roughly three months old – and the fan (during the first three months of use) ran almost constantly. This was annoying, but not tragic, as the laptop performed well.
Then, I accepted a Dell Update about three weeks ago and everything changed.
The fan was no longer running as much as it was before. This was great until… the laptop shut down! I’ll save you the details about every step I followed in an attempt to fix this issue, and just give you some quick bullet points that did not work.
What Did NOT Fix My Dell Laptop’s Overheating Problem:
- Running fewer programs concurrently. Just running more than one tab in Chrome was often shutting it down.
- Running on battery power when possible. This was a temporary fix that allowed me to make a couple of presentations uninterrupted. However, this could never be a permanent solution for obvious reasons.
- Cleaning dust from the fan and the vents. This didn’t work, because there was no dust – this was a new laptop.
- Adjust the fan settings in BIOS. Accessing the BIOS settings via an F2 click at start-up (as one site suggested) allowed me to make multiple changes (if I wanted to) but did not yield the fan settings on my Dell machine. (Apparently, Dell completely removes the ability for owners to control their own laptop fans – this, I can tell you, is enraging!)
- Reversing the BIOS update. I was able to revert to the previous version – which is scary, since the laptop could’ve shut down during the update. Had that happened, the laptop would’ve likely needed to be rebooted from scratch with none of my programs, files or settings remaining.
- About 20 other things. I truly cannot recall everything I tried that failed; but, for me, there was one thing that finally worked.
How I Solved My Dell Laptop’s Overheating Problem:
To verify this works for you, you may want to download the free HWMonitor from CPUID. This handy little program shows you lots of cool stuff – including the internal temperatures of various important components of your laptop. Here’s my current readout:
This shows that since last starting HWMonitor (about 30 minutes ago), the minimum temperature for Core #1 (whatever that is) was 44° Celsius, the maximum temperature over that time was 71° and the current temp is 49°. This is great news, because my laptop was showing 100° (after the BIOS upgrade) as the maximum temperature; and would shut down when the current temps hovered around there for more than a few seconds.
(Oh, and I currently have 7 tabs open in Chrome while also running PowerPoint, HWMonitor, iTunes, Word and Excel… all with 100% screen brightness!)
Okay, here are the steps I took to stop my Dell Inspiron laptop from overheating and shutting down:
STEP 1:
Click the Windows Icon and type “edit power plan.” Click on the link provided and you should see this window appear:
STEP 2:
Click the blue link that reads “change advanced power settings.” This should open the Power Options window:
STEP 3:
Open the “Processor power management” choice and select “Maximum processor state.” I changed both settings (“On battery” and “Plugged in”) to 85% (you can experiment with different settings), clicked “Apply” and then “Okay.”
After a quick restart (not sure if I needed to or not), my laptop was running perfectly. It’s been a week and my Dell Inspiron has never once overheated or shut down on its own; and the fan rarely runs!
Oh, and I haven’t noticed any issues with speed – though I’m sure I caused something to run slower by lowering these settings from 100% to 85%; but, frankly, I’d prefer a laptop that never shuts down on its own to one that runs faster, but crashes constantly.
I am hopeful this solution works for you. If you discover a different solution for this problem, please let others know in the comments below.

No, I paid for a laptop that was supposed to be capable of editing video, the Inspiron 5584 was recommended for doing my YouTube videos. It’s been overheating since the day it arrived, first I tried suggestions like turning certain things off, slowing down the processor and then I realized I was just being a Dell puppet. I paid for 100% processor usage, and they were just delaying me so the warranty would run out while they lead me around multiple delays and fixes, then sure enough, one day I try to call about it and I get told my warranty expired 3 days earlier and I couldn’t extend it, because of course that has to be done when you buy it.
It boils down to this, I was told it would do what I needed it to, it’s an i-7 4 core, 8 thread processor with onboard graphics, it will get to 99c every time I try to edit a video and transcode it for YouTube, then it drops down to barely being able to move the cursor until it cools to 50c. The other thing that gets too hot is the power brick, others who bought the same model have reported theirs melting and even burning before the fuse goes. I plugged mine into a wattage monitor and when it got hottest, it was drawing 50 watts and above, Dell recommended that people should buy a 65 watt power brick, if that’s what it needs, why is it’s maximum set at 45 watts? I recently updated my desktop, built to my standards by my hands, hopefully I can sell this lame laptop, I’ll be surprised if I can get $100- for it.

an adittional point, if you are running windows, turn off many unnecessary services, because those make your cpu overwork and it will produce a high temperature in your cpu

Very many thanks. I stumbled on this article that’s turned out to be the answer to my Dell Inspiron 3780 laptop overheating, though not shutting down. I’ve owned this laptop for almost 4 years and it always ran hot (touch). The fan always seemed to constantly run until just recently when I could hear it giving out. I just replaced the fan today and though the new fan is running smooth and quiet according to HWINFO64 I was still reaching some max temps and thermal throttling. So according to your recommendation I changed the “Maximum Processor State” from 100% to 85% and the temps are now running at nice mid-range temps instead of extremes. Wow again many thanks.

Dell latitude,probably the worst laptops in the entire world in terms of temperatures . I havent used Turbo which gives me 1GHZ for like 1-2 years . Even without turbo games can easily reach 98 degrees. I have cleaned and repasted the laptop countless times but absolutely nothing changed.

Same issue here.. brand new Dell 7000 series (model 7501 to be exact) and it was getting excessively hot the very 1st day even when CPU use was less than 5%. Updated all the drivers as well as the bios and the same issue remained. Lost all faith in Dell after this purchase.. it’s going back tomorrow

Here’s a fun tidbit: Dell knows about the problem. I talked to a Dell IT tech within the first 3 months of owning my computer, and he used this solution (with a value of 99%, rather than 85%. This solved the problem, for a while. Now, 1 year later, just as my service plan expired (coincidentally), the issue rematerialized. It was still at 99%. I have set it down to 90%, because I play computer games.

I suffered from this problem with dell for a period of time which was frustrating. The solution was to go to POWER&SLEEP Settings. Select the sleep mode NEVER on battery power, and NEVER when plugged in. For the last week and since I made that change, I had no problem whatsoever. I hope this helps

Hi all
My brand new Dell 7410 had the same overheating problem.
Everything described here is %100 accurate, the only problem is in the most recent Windows 10 these settings are unfortunately disabled. So I downloaded a program called ThrottleStop_9.3 and disabled turbo boost by this program. Everything got back to normal!
I really can’t understand how Dell can produce such devices and force ordinary users to download overclocking softwares or manage bios settings!

You can adjust the performance settings by clicking the battery icon in the system tray and adjusting the performance slider. Slide to the left to lower performance, but reduce heat. Putting the slider in the middle works well in most cases.

February 25, 2021 @ 4:58 AM
I don’t have Processor Power Management either so the closest I got to imitating the tutorial was to go to each option in the battery section and turn them all to %85. Go to “Battery” Click on “Low Battery Level” and turn both “on battery” and “plugged in” to %85. Do the same with “Critical Battery Level” and “Reserve Battery Level” I had to turn all of these options on to compensate for the new dell options

May 30, 2021 @ 11:44 PM
Deb, don’t follow what erin suggests, if you don’t have “Processor Power Management” there’s no point changing other unrelated settings to 85% – it completely missed the point…

I have been having this issue for quite a while. I tried to follow your directions but when I get into the Power Options I do not see a Processor Power Management option to click on I only see, Desktop background settings, sleep, power buttons and lid, display and battery.
Where can I find the Processor Power Management??????????
The computer shut off this morning and it took over 5 hours for the fan to finally stop and for me to be able to turn it back on. I so want to try this fix but for some reason I do not see what you see?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just got a dell inspiron 7000 15.6″ screen turned it on started heating up immediately so hot burned my fingers. The fan was running but not cooling it down. Tried all types of fixes to no avail. It finally shut off won’t come back on. Taking back tomorrow to best buy.I’m older not going to put up with this BS especially after reading all your blogs why doesn’t dell do something to fix this??RIDICULOUS

Have a Dell G3 3500 and the CPU was constantly running all cores at Turbo mode around 4.0 Ghz. Even when power management in Windows was set to balanced and Dell’s own Power management to the same. I think there is a issue where there is a conflict that somehow affects the proper adjustment of speed for the CPU. I uninstalled Dell’s software and managed to reset Windows Power management Balanced profile to default and got back the Speedstep abilities of the Intel 10300H CPU. Now I get more acceptable temps.

December 4, 2020 @ 7:23 PM
Me too! I’m amazed how this instantly worked. I got my Dell Inspiron 13 2 in 1 in 2017 so it’s only 3 years old. It’s probably run hot with the fan constantly on for more than 2 years. It used to shut off and I’m not sure what I did at the time to remedy that. But when I changed the percentages just now, the burning heat on my lap started to cool instantly. Fan is ever so quiet. Genius! Why doesn’t Dell know this? Duh!

I found this same solution in my dell precision 5540 today. Just trying to do some google and help others. Good to see you’ve fixed the issue already and help others.
I’ve noticed before I set any limitation my CPU frequency can go up to 3.7GHz, after I set a 66%/75% limitation, the CPU frequency is usually below 2GHz. Previous battery life is 3hours, now 7 hours. so I think it’ll also help save the energy. . The overheating and crazy fan noise is gone

This may or may not be helpful, for me as well as you. Recently, one week, I bought a Dell XPS laptop. I set it up on older fan operated cooling pad. I don’t work with high processing demand software. The second day the computer heated up to hand hurting temps and shut off. Should I send it back within the 30 day return period, or go through a long and difficult process to try to change the basic operational programs to reduce load and subsequent heating. The vent for air cooling is on the bottom of the computer, not the best place for operation. I thought that perhaps the cooling air flow from the cooling pad blows directly upward toward the cooling vent. That might create an air flow block rather than increased air flow. Scrapped the cooling pad and placed the computer on two long wooden strips that did not block the vent and raised the computer about an inch off the table which allowed unrestricted air flow out of the computer. Three days now and so far so good, surface temp on the left side of the computer is 90 F. I have a few more days before I have to send it back.

we have dell mobile precision 3541 XCTO; with Dell Tag – 8ZFN3X2…SR – 1026836654…HAC – 42697875…Heating issue. [ ref:_00D0bGaMp._5002R19;
The system goes at 99 degree celcious even at playing windows media player and thermal and power limit throttling’s are applied which we can see thru intel xtu application. I can see the cpu uttilization is less than 25%; still the throttling tdps are applied. Dell customer service says that the processor temperature of 110 deg C is normal. And he dont tell the designed tdp numbers for the system.
We have very hot surface on the left side of the keypad which is very uncomfortable to work with and hanging.
I feel, these people are selling high configuration laptops but the motherboards are not designed to handle either bus speeds or the thermal handling. What will be the turbo boost do if the system does not have the design in place to cope up with the processor.

Christopher Navis
July 7, 2021 @ 9:57 PM
Here’s a question for you: is the laptop plugged in when it is shut off?
From what I understand, active heating means the laptop is running fans, and passive means it is not running fans. If you are willing to sacrifice heat for battery life, on battery: passive may be your best option. If you wish to prevent your laptop from overheating, on battery: active may be a better bet. It would be valuable to know what temperature your laptop is running at.This is from my understanding, as a child of a highly educated IT tech.
Being a user of a Dell Inspiron, I believe it doesn’t really matter. In time, if the fan needs to run all the time, it slowly dies inside until it stops working entirely. This leads to a permanent state of passive cooling, which is not fun.

This seems to have worked on our Dell Inspiron 5000 2-in-1 although it’s more of a crutch than a fix, since it’s lowering the CPU. Still, easier than sending the laptop back and replacing it with another with the same problem.

Should have to downgrade performance to prevent notebook from over heating. But another option might be to turn off turbo mode in bios? Reduces potential clock boost but might run cooler. I just bought a refurb Dell Inspiron 7370 13 inch and definitely notice the heat issues. Especially updating or any heavy task and it has a Core i7 to boot. Considering returning it already because of the heat problem because I use a notebook on my lap a lot in the evenings.

I had the same problem with a brand-new Inspiron 13 7000 purchased in January of 2019. Here’s my experience. I am posting this in every “Dell laptop overheating” thread I can find in hopes that people will find it and it will be helpful.
The power options you mention in your blog are apparently not available in Windows 10 home edition, so here is what I did that was available.
From the time I bought this laptop brand-new in January of 2019, the built-in keyboard has gotten hot enough, especially on the left side of the keyboard, to make typing uncomfortable. Since I make my living as a medical transcriptionist, this is not a good thing. I use it with a laptop pad with a USB-powered fan, and even that was not of enough help to cool down the keyboard.
I followed all the suggestions I could find on multiple online searches, including updating the BIOS as well as making sure all the Dell updates had been downloaded and installed. Still too hot. I even went so far as to remove the back of the laptop to check and see the condition of the fan. (It was fine. No dust.)
And then I happened upon a suggestion to disable the Intel Turbo Boost Max technology in the BIOS. This is enabled by default and, if I understand it correctly, basically overclocks the CPU, which makes it run hotter. I had earlier downloaded and run a program called Open Hardware Monitor which told me my CPU core temperatures were running in the high 60s to low 70s degrees Celsius.
So I rebooted the computer, hit F12 on restart to get into setup, and found my way to the Turbo Boost. On my system, it is found under “Performance.” (Your mileage may vary.) I unchecked the box to disable it, saved the changes, and finished booting up the computer.
And now the keyboard is no longer burning my fingers, and the CPU temperatures are running in the high 40s to low 50s. And I can put my hand on the bottom of the computer without it hurting.

Wow, had the exact same issue, and worked through BIOS updates, and most of the other things mentioned to try. Even bought a laptop cooling fan (flat thing with a bunch of fans in it that you set your laptop on). Nothing worked, very frustrating.
Did the change to the maximum processor state, and temps are now down from 90+ (maxing at 100 often) to the 60’s. Only been a few hours now, but this seems to work very well.

I wanted to add something games like gta 5, nfs heat, ROTR at ultra settings has temperatures at 100 deg…which reduced to 65-70 deg. Dell seriously needs to release proper bios. The problem started after
after the new dell bios update(was stable at 1.9.0)
