I also have an Studio XPS 9100 with a similar problem. I ran the Dell Diagnostic and here are the results:
Error Code 0123.
Msg: Error Code 2000-0123
Msg: Memory – integrity test failed
Then, after test was continued, the entire computer froze displaying this message. The computer had to be hard reset.
