Jeff -
I have a Dell Precision M65. The Precision M65 and the Latitude 830 laptops
have what I would call a 'design defect' which leads to CPU overheating.
On the earlier models (for example, the Precision M60), the heat sink
cooling fan could be removed from the *bottom* of the laptop, and you could
easily clean the cooling grille from the bottom of the machine. However, on
the Precision M65 and Latitude 830, you must remove the display, split the
case, and remove the heat sink (basically tear the laptop down to the mother
board) in order to clean the heat sink cooling grille, and in my experience
this must be done approximately every six months.
The first time I did it, it took over an hour - I can do this now and have
it back together in 15 minutes...
The symptoms are overheating (it will be too hot on bottom to place on your
lap), the cooling fan will run continuously at high speed, and it will
randomly shut down.

All,
A sales rep is bringing in his laptop because it is shutting down
intermittently. I have this SWAG that it may be heat related.
What's a decent free PC app that will show me temperatures?
Thanks.
