I have Dell 1520 with a Intel Celeron M 540 @ 1.86 GHZ, for some reason it overheating like mad when i'm on games. It reached to 75 degrees before, is that safe for a laptop? The Tj is 100 degrees, So i guess its safe to be under 100 degrees? the fan doesn't automaticly turn on at 75 degrees ? i have to use fan control to make it turn on. Please can you help me ?
Btw my laptop is on windows xp (it came with vista and i guess it was made for vista but it runs really slow on vista)

On the bottom of the laptop should be a removable panel.

Sounds like there are some blocked vents on the laptop to me. Make sure there is noo dust and dirt blocking anything and as Dave says, have a look at the CPU heat sink.

Also, if you can get into the BIOS, check the auto fan speed settings, check it's not disabled.

I don't believe the dell laptops to have Autofan settings - could be wrong, but on the few we have at home they don't - although they are quite old.

I think the new ones do, or at least they have a temperature where they are meant to turn on.
