Got a Dell Vostro 220S here i've put together that keeps on crashing/freezing whilst trying to format the hdd. I'm convinced that the NB is the cause of the problem as the heatsink is a bit pants and very very hot to the touch after a few seconds running.

Not got a great deal of space around the NB but any recommendations for a half decent spring clip fitting heatsink to help out?
:)
 
Try sticking a fan over the heatsink first, there's no point in replacing it if the crashing persists. It might be normal that it runs hot and your crashing issue is unrelated.
