Dell released official Windows XP, Vista and 7 drivers for this model. I just remake the list base on the importance drivers and remove the application (optional installation) including unimportant drivers. Please install according to the order given and do let me know if you have the problem with the installation.
Install all driver base on the order, reboot if you asked to do so.

1. This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
It means you are installing Intel driver by using incompatible operating system, example installing windows XP driver in windows 7. To fix this install the appropriate drivers base on the operating system.
2. High CPU Usage
Normally cause by a virus or too many programs installed/running - Install a lightweight antivirus and uninstall unwanted program. Do optimize your start up items. The other thing that cause this problem is using a non-oem windows. Please get the original oem Windows DVD if you buy the used one.
Overheating - Get a USB fan and place it near to the hottest part of your notebook. Make sure not to use your laptop without any air flow at the bottom, make sure you have something placed under your laptop to provide space for the heat to flow.
