I have logged a ticket with dell support and they claiming this is OS related and request me to perform PC restore.

Thus I would like to verify this with the expert here before i do something.

A few Google posts like this one talk about overheating, perhaps you should consider that type of problem.

M9700 Overheating Issues

This one talks about updating the Bios.



This refers more to HP but identifies a problem with AMD and SP3.

HP machines and xp's SP3 have a known issue
here is the official link for the fix
