Chances are your nVidia card is now defective due to a known issue with certain Dell models. The GPU has a clocking issue, and melts down due to heat. BIOS A16 released to combat this, but no real fix except to replace motherboard. See http://www.itexaminer.com/nvidia-dell-hp-sued-over-defective-chips.aspx Even if out of Warranty, contact Dell Support, as they have been known to repair these issues by replacing the motherboards with ATI Video Card models.
