    Have you tried:

    - Viewing your temperatures? GPU is known to shoot up to like 90-100C, and CPU can get very hot

    - Scanning your hard drive for viral infections?

    - Make sure all your hardware is in good order (Dell Diagnostics)

    - Reinstalling your OS to rule out bad drivers/corrupt software

    Download HWMonitor (free program) and monitor your temperatures. Also what is your ambient room temperature?
