Hello I been searching the forum and I haven't heard anyone have the same problem as me i just got my m1330 with the t7300. But because they made it wouldn't take more then 2 wks to get my system and ended up being 5 wks. The manager told me he upgrade my processor. So once i recieved the system i called tech support and then upgraded me to the T9300. It was installed today and was running fine. But as soon as I do any high end stuff like burning a dvd my whole computer shuts off. After that if i try and turn it back on it gets to the logon screen and soon as i put in my password and the windows screen pops up it turns off, but i could bootup in safe mode without a problem. I assume its the new processor or the heatsink is not correct I've tried taking off the heatsink and putting it back in but the issue continues. I hear mostly that the m1330 overheating issue is with the gpu not the cpu I am going to try out a few more things if it doesn't correct the issues. Ill be back on the phone with dell.

Probably wasn't installed correctly, like a thermal compound wasn't used at all or done incorrectly would be my guess.

If you never updated your BIOS, you might have do that first. Penryn support was added in somewhere around A09. This makes a difference for the thermal management.
Please watch temps with this tool as it supports Penryn:

Everything below 105°C should not shut down the computer.
A good tool for observing chipset and GPU temps is this one:
http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php
Last time I checked HWmonitor was not handling Penryn T9x00 CPU correctly and showed from temps there. That's why I suggest two tools. I know that CoreTemp does the job correct. -
Make sure there was thermal paste applied to the CPU.
CoreTemp correctly identifies the CPU temp.
I also have the T9300 and mine idles at around 37C and maxes out at around 67C.
