Why is my laptop overheating and running hard constantly?
Vostro laptop runs noisily and overheats quickly and shuts down.
Is this a good question?

Noise - because your fan is working overtime trying to cool the cpu
Shutdown - the cpu got too hot, so the computer turned off, hopefully to avoid any serious damage
It's overheating MOST LIKELY due to excess dust build up around the fan / heat sink radiator area. This is preventing the fan from dissipating the heat from the heatsink
