Dell 13z Video Memory Integrity Test Discrepancy

My Dell 13z (Windows 8) cannot boot. When I press F12 for setup and run the Diagnostics, here's what I get:

Error Code 2000-0332

Validation 126154

Message: Video Memory - Video memory integrity test discrepancy

Everything else tests OK. 

What should I do now?

A document says that I have to flash BIOS. How to do that if my laptop can't start? And what does flashing BIOS mean?

Come on! I've just bought this computer a month ago. I have bought many computers from Dell throughout the years and have never seen anything like this.

I am in the same boat. Totally irrated and <ADMIN NOTE: Profanity removed as per TOU> . I purchased a dell inspiron 15Z ultra touch and have had nothing but problems. #1- Fan whirring sound because the top of the laptop is pressing against it all the time. He tries to claims it's BIOS. NOT!!!!! #2 It keeps getting disconnected from the internet. Again blamed on BIOS- NOT! (tons of dell users have this problem) I tried to update bios with an old inspiron once and it bricked. #3 My screen will NOT get off of the Dell logo. I have tried everything that they have suggested on here. I got the same error code about the video memory and also a validation 121183 msg hard drive . I did nothing out of the ordinary. It froze I turned it off and that was it. I got this laptop in January 2013. I wish Dell would do a better job of making sure their products are fit to sell. And it is the hardest thing to get in contact with tech service via internet and phone. I search over 2 hours and kept getting sent to FAQ pages. I have a computer I CANT USE. UUUUGGHHHHHHH. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!
