Sick vid
Any clue what is causing this? It will run like that for 10-20 seconds then cut off. Repeat. However, randomly, it will decide to run fine.
Dell Insprion 1545
Intel Pentium Dual Core @ 2.1 GH

Temps are normal I guess.
Then the cpu temp goes up to 115 F.
122 F!
They have a fire icon next to them!!!

I can't play that video :/
Can you physically get to the fan?
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

Will that void my warranty? If not then yes, else no.

Well, you tell me that. If you just have to remove a panel to get to it, it most likely won't.
But if you have to break the computer, it just might.
My guess would be that either there's junk in there, like buq said, or the fan is somehow dislocated.
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

There is nothing in there. I mean there is a little bit of dust on the fan fins, but nothing else. Nonetheless, I'm calling Dell to complain.
Warranty expired, Dell wont even let me call them unless I pay a $60 service charge or some shit. Faggots.

My laptop turns off if at any point the CPU temperature hits 100 C. That's... 212 F.

Fixed. I'll post the solution after a game of LoL.

Oh, you have a Dell laptop. There's your problem.

Oh, you have a Dell laptop. There's your problem. Hey! This one works fine! It's just very poorly designed, from a point of view of heat dissipation.

The fun thing is that having a Dell laptop probably is the fault for most over-heatings.
I added the "-" there because I don't know if it's one word, or if it's separated. The line has a magical power of making every-thing b-a-ing spe-led correctl-ey.

sprinkles said: Lack of promised solution.
My guesses:
-clogged fan (although it sounds like not, in your opinion)
-dislocated fan bearing (a bit more likely, typically has audible symptom of terrible grinding or clicking)
-some part of an on-demand cooling system is out of whack (lots of systems scale fan speed to internal temps by default)
-loose power wire to the fan being wiggled out of place by fan vibration and then settling back into place on the contacts (doesn't seem likely, it would probably wiggle completely off in this scenario, but it is still possible)
What was it?!

Really poor design where the air cannot flow around the laptop sufficiently, resulting in massive heat gain very quickly?
