My dell M5010 tends to overheat under normal running conditions. If I raise it off th desk a bit it helps but doesn't necessarily stop the problem.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Hi c s henman,
I once got a laptop from a friend that had the same issue. Here is what I did to solve the problem:
His computer switched off because of the internal thermostat that was activated due to overheating. The cooling circulation was interrupted through dust particles inside the laptop. I opened the computer and found that the fan was pretty dusty and clogged with dust, also the openings of the casing. In other words: There was no chance for the fan to keep the temperature inside on a normal level. As a result, the thermostat switched off the system to protect it from damage.
So, I recommend checking the fan unit and openings for dust. You might need to disassemble your laptop accordingly (and want to follow this teardown guide). However, I assume that your fan unit is not defective and runs. You might check on that first.

The laptop doesn't overheat nor does it shut down. However, the fan never runs and I replaced it with a new
Yes I replaced it with and supplied power to the fan and it works. I'm guessing that the thermostat that controls the fan must be bad.

I would recommend the same method as Steffen recommended above. However, if there is no dust and the problem persists, there may be a problem with your CPU. In that case, you could try upgrading your CPU (one with a same connector), or if it is not upgradeable, use a laptop chill mat or some other cooling accessory.

Great minds think alike. I have already made that suggestion to him.
