Hi Garcia18,
I understand that you have copied this bluescreen error from somewhere else. According, to this error driver file for Nvidia Graphic card has failed.
However, it might not be the exact error as you don't have a Nvidia card on the system. You can disable automatic start on error following the steps below:
Click on the Start button and then on Control Panel.
Click on the System and Security link.
Click on the System link
In the task pane on the left, click the Advanced system settings link
Locate the Startup and Recovery section near the bottom of the window and click on the Settings button.
In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.
Click OK in the System Properties window.
You can now close the System window.
After, this you would be able to make note of the exact error. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us.
Thanks and Regards

I uninstalled the driver and then tried to install a driver that i downloaded from the ATI site.Unfortunately I could not install it because as I read from a thread I think I was able to download drivers only from the dell support site.So I reinstalled the same driver and realized that during installation an error show ups but still the installation completes.Thought this was making the problem so I uninstalled it again and installed an older version of the same driver that I downloaded it from the dell support site.Thought this will fix everything and it has been a while that I had no issues and some time before I wanted to post that it fixed my issues the same blue screen error while playing World of Warcraft appeared.
Maybe I should take it to the local shop it still has a warranty
