DELL LAPTOP XPS 15 Overheating Shutdown

High-Performance Thermal Interface Material

The factory-applied thermal paste on the XPS 15 often degrades or is applied too thinly, leading to poor contact between the CPU/GPU and the copper heatsink. Replacing this with a high-conductivity non-conductive paste (like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut) restores the thermal bridge, preventing the silicon from hitting the 100°C PROCHOT shutdown limit.

Replacement CPU & GPU Cooling Fan Kit

The dual-fan system in the XPS 15 can suffer from dust accumulation or bearing wear, reducing RPMs and airflow. If the fans cannot maintain sufficient static pressure to push air through the radiator fins, heat soaks into the chassis, eventually causing a safety shutdown.

Thermal Heatsink Assembly

In cases where the laptop has undergone extreme thermal cycling, the internal vacuum of the copper heat pipes can fail, or the plate can warp. Replacing the entire assembly ensures the flat-mating surface and the phase-change heat transfer mechanism are fully functional.
