It can be one of two things:
1) the FAN is jammed, so there is no airflow and the processor is heating up
2) The Battery has malfunctioned and is over volting the CPU making it RUN hotter then it's supposed to.
I suggest if your warranty hasn't expired you take it to DELL.
If your warranty has expired please consider taking it to a qualified technician.
If you are the daring type or have experience in opening up your laptop please visit this link
If you find your Fan is clean when then it is more than likely a case of a bad Battery.
There is a way to fix the battery
