    Yep, looks like a graphic card problem. The M1330 are notorious for faulty cards. Don't buy a new motherboard, they are very expensive. Are you still under warranty?

    Yes, unfortunately (as strange as it sounds) it will be the most cost effective. You could try to tinker with it, probably will be a lot more hastle then you want to afford. Next time, please not buy Dell, buy a Lenovo. They are built to last!

    As stated in a previous post contact Dell ASAP as you may be covered under the "extra" 1 year warranty to cover Nvidia GPU issues!!

    Yes, just call Dell XPS support, they extend the warranty for this specific issue. My graphic card died in December last year out of warranty, but they still fixed it. They might pretend there's no such thing and have you pay for it, but just tell them you know about the extended warranty, everything should go smoothly. :)
