Yep, sounds like a faulty GPU, we have seen this before. First step to verify this is to see if this problem recurs on a connected external monitor/ TV if you have one available. If it does most definiately a video problem. If it doesn't it could be a simple connection issue.

However my bet is on a bad video card. I would contact Dell and schedule a replacement to be installed.

Cheers,
Stu
