I think you should try to defrag it, perhaps, and take off all the applications off that you're not using. If that doesn't help, maybe take it to a computer store. I'm sorry about that happening, in the meantime, I would maybe backup your files and stuff that you do not want to lose because my computer has crashed quite a few times, it made me sad, I'd hate for that to happen to you!

Turn it off whenever you're not using it. If it's a laptop, get something for it to stand on so it doesn't over heat. If it's a desktop, try taking off the side panels to let it "breathe". Also, open the window when you can, no use in trying to cool down a machine with hot air.

Don't worry about it. But don't leave it on top of clothes/soft things because it will cover the fan and it will over heat. If you leave it on a hard surface like a desk it should be fine.

I probably should try that.

there is a system error in the older dells, i believe, where the tempurature thingy that controls the fan malfunctions and uses up all the cpu usage (can't remember what its reawlly called right now though) there is a command that will shut it off and that might help, but then your computer overheats. also, you could try doing what i did with my old inspiron, i took the fan out and cleaned it... its recomended that it si cleaned every once in a while.
