Wareagle,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
Does the system shut down by itself?
Where are you putting the system, on your lap?
Try another AC Adapter, does it do the same thing?
Try another battery, does it do the same thing?
You can also try a program called FanGui which other customers have reported you can use to manually control your system fans, and thus keep them running to keep the system cooler. Be aware that the FanGui site states the program has not been tested with the X200, so it may or may not work.

Thx for your fast answer

The System doen't shutdown by itself, except the battery is low.

What do you mean with "Where are you putting the system, on your lap?" ?

I'll try a new a new AC-Adapter/Battery ...

 

Wareagle,

What do you mean with "Where are you putting the system, on your lap?" ?
The systems get very hot because all the components are crammed together in such a small space.
It is normal to perceive the system to be very hot.
But, if the end user places the system in their lap, it will seem like the system is about to
catch fire. Portable systems should not be placed in your lap during normal use because of the
heat they create. Just make sure the system is being used on a desk surface, and not on a persons lap.

ah well, no it's only used on a desk ...

Wareagle,

By the way, which part of the portable is hot?
The bottom?
The whole thing?
The Palm Rest?

as far as i remember on the bottom and on the keyboard

(the user is on a business trip - i'll check it when he's back)

a new BIOS an a new Battery fixed the problem

Wareagle,

Thanks for the update, its good to hear you got it fixed.
