Bloody hell, my laptop is in the list. :( It’s just to express my opinion on this issue in this post. Many have ranted about their dying or dead XPS1330 all over the web, I’m doing that also too, now.
Browse over these links below and you will see people cursing Dell. It’s not Dell’s fault, it’s Nvidia’s manufacturing issue BUT Dell need to be responsible of this issue instead of giving temporary solution like releasing firmware that runs the fan all the time.
Quote from Dell’s blog entry
Our teams are committed to working with affected customers to resolve issues on a case-by-case basis.
ALL XPS1330 will die sooner later, Dell should RECALL ALL affected units in the world! The short-term solution will do solve this issue. It may fail sooner or later and nobody here want their laptop to fail after the warranty ends!
