    When Idling my temps : Xps 1530
    Gpu- 62-75
    Cpu- 70

    After Gaming:
    Gpu- 90's
    Cpu- 80's

    So i personally think my Gpu is overheating, problem is my warranty is expired. Is it true that the Gpu is still covered by an additional warranty? If so do i just need to call customer services?

    Yes. Dell extended the warranty for this issue by 1 year. If you are seeing artifacting, random shutdowns or just want to discuss the higher temps with them, call them and report it. They should have no issue with sending out a tech.

    I have the same problem also.

    What should i say to them since i've called them before and have told them it shuts down on it's own and that it overheats and they haven't sent anyone out.
