See if there are any updated drivers on Windows Update or on the Dell
site for any hardware in your computer. Also, you might try downloading
Speedfan ('SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer'
(http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php)) and see what your temperatures
are. Usually, new computers don't have any issues, but I've seen a few
that had fans that didn't work or heatsinks not seated correctly.

If it's your sound card, you can try disabling it and see if the
problem continues. If it does, you can rule that out. Otherwise, check
for new drivers for it.
