couple things i would try
1. using compressed air to try and get any dust or obstructions out.
2. make sure while your using it to not have anything covering any holes on the laptop
3. cooling pad usually you can get for under 50$ bucs
4. if its still under warranty call dell complain tell them that it burns you it could be that your fan just may be crap and needs replacing have them replace it they should also do number 4.
5. try replacing the thermal paste between your video card and processor but id wait til its outa warranty before trying this because taking it apart will void warranty.
i had a laptop that was overheating turns out that it had been taken apart before i got it and the thermal past was minmul replaced it works great now
