I was able to solve the issue by removing some of the modules I had in 
xorg.conf.
I noticed that it is not the cpu that is overheating, but rather the 
video/graphic card. The area around the "Dell" logo on the front of the 
display is still pretty hot, but the system seem to be working fine now and I 
can not reproduce the issue any more.
Someone would ask why I'm using the xorg.conf. The reason is because without 
it X automatically loads the GL direver for 3d support and I am not able to 
use second display.
Perhaps it is worth trying latest intel driver as susggested before. However 
with the current one it is working fine, so I would consider the issue as 
solved.

I would like to thank you for your precious support and ideas once again.

regards
