Bought it a year ago for my kids ($700 TV special). They use it a lot, but
it overheats and flops out every couple of hours. Is there something I can
do to fix this? I'm not very computer savvy, so any simple solutions would
be greatly appreciated.

Happy new year.

?? Under Windows, no less? I thought these things never happened
under Windows.

Check Dell's website and see if they have downloadable BIOS upgrades.
If they have a BIOS more recent than in your model, that may be
your solution. Can't help you much with the details, though.

You might try the newsgroup alt.sys.pc-clone.dell and post your Dell
questions there. There are a lot of helpful people on that group.
