_GURU_, I also have reinstalled the graphics driver several times, precisely as recommended by Dell-ChrisM and others (uninstalling the driver, then cleaning up the extritus by using a driver cleaner in Safe Mode, then installing the latest nVidia driver). Nothing helps. so far.
I am currently using BIOS A04, but it apparently IS NOT the cause of this problem, at least not all of it. Some of my display problems occurred prior to my flashing the BIOS.

I had the exact same issue....
I even made snips of the message and had a Dell Tech do DellConnect and see it for himself.
He had me uninstall the Video Driver and reinstall it from Dell's site.
That solved the issue... and I have not seen it yet.
Hope this helps.
Peace

We've done that already a bunch of times. No luck whatsoever. I am already at escalation support. They are telling me at this point we must reimage. Did your machine also work fine for a time and then start this odd behavior? Did you do anything special when uninstalled the driver, i.e. safe mode or something else? Thanks.

Has anyone truly found the answer to this problem? I am on my 2nd XPS 720 and this problem has followed an almost identical timeline down to the number of days. Basically, the machine works great for about 1.5 months and then starts the nvlddmmkm error at an ever increasing rate ech day. Then the machine starts to lock up longer and longer each time. Dell has no answers for me other than to reload the OS; but others posting here say that is useless...it continues to happen. Anyone who has really solved this problem please respond. Thanks....PLBAPLBA

The problem was that one of the RAM sticks was faulty and was causing this and many other error messages.

Can you tell me how you were able to determine this? Was it a process of elimination (i.e. taking out one stick at a time and seeing what happened)? This is my 2nd XPS 720 system. The first one had the exact same problems with the exact same timeline. Eventually, Dell called it a day and sent me the new system. The reason I am asking all of this is because I am already at escalation and I don't think they will be sending me a new system this time. I really don't want to reimage the hard drive but that is what I am being told is the only option left. Thanks.

yes, mine worked fine for a few months, and then did the restarts...
once I updated the Adobe updater, all has been good.
Peace
