    Uhh... seems like it hasn't been suggested in this thread yet, you should get HWMonitor and see which part in particular is having the heat problem.

    Is your fan running at all? These temperatures are not normal for a Vostro 1500.

    Just for reference, I played COD4 for about an hour yesterday, the peak tempreatures were 71-72 C for both GPU (overclocked to 650/500) and CPU (undervolted to 1.1625). You definitely have got a problem over there. Since you have tried cleaning the heatsink with compressed air and verified that the fan is working, I agree, it is time to call Dell. Good luck!

    Yeah...if it hits 100C, it'll be at least damaged and at worst fried.
