probaly is over heating easy 10 minute fix jake out batery and put the back to a fan or set it out some were cool and leve it there 10 mins come back make sures its cool and pop the battery back in.if u have a built in fan put an ice pack in front so it will suck in cold air

I don’t know exactly which Dell Portable you have (Dell doesn’t call them laptops), but I have searched for a Troubleshooting tree for you on Dell.com. Try this link, just follow through the steps to see where it leads, what it comes up with.
Give Dell a call to troubleshoot if you prefer, even if you are out of warranty on that system, you are still entitled to phone support for the life of your system (you just couldn’t get a part replaced under warranty if it’s expired).
When it asks you to enter the “System Setup” that means to turn on the system and start taping on the F2 key.
Good Luck!
