Gets hot very easy although it has a fan. The screen blacks out sometimes I don't get that.

dondon,
We're sorry that your computer is overheating while you're using it. Here are some tips to keep your computer running at a cooler temperature:
Tips for Proper Usage:
1. Dell does not recommend placing portable systems directly on your lap. Due to reductions in the thickness of modern portable systems, heat transfer can be an issue. 2. Using a portable system (Laptop) on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface will increase airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system. Using the portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other types of cloth will cover up the fan cause the computer to overheat and can cause permanent damage. 3. It is recommended to use the portable system in a Room temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) with a Humidity level no greater than 90%. 4. Use compressed air to clean the vents on a regular basis. 5. Using a cooling pad can decrease heat and increase performance. 6. If you want to know the temperature limitations for your system, go to the Dell Support Website, look up your system model then open the user guide under the manuals link.
If you are having screen flickering issues here's a Driver update that may be able to help you: Dell has released the following driver to address screen flashing and flickering. Please visit this link in order to install the Intel UHD Graphics Driver (version 26.20.100.7463, A02): https://dell.to/36FfIYn.

The specs on this laptop are great except for one huge issue. The cooling for the laptop is not sufficient to keep to keep the CPU from overheating and throttling under moderate use. Ryzens mobile CPUs are known to have enough graphical horsepower to enable some light gaming but this laptop immediately overheats and drops the clock speeds within less than a minute of running any kind of game. I know this is not a gaming laptop and I did not buy it for that purpose, but it would be nice if I could do a little gaming while on the road if I wanted to. If the laptop had better cooling I would have given it 5 stars. I really wish I would have known this before I made the purchase so I could have bought a different model.
