Paul,

Thanks for providing additional diagnostic information, and also for reminding
me to update the status of this report.

I agree: hardware failure.

I found a source of inexpensive surplus Dell parts, and I recently replaced
this  video card. I haven't seen the problem since.

The Inspiron 5100 had (has?) a bad reputation for overheating. I've been
careful with mine over the years, and I haven't seen the other symptoms people
complained about, but perhaps the cumulative high temperature operation took a
toll.

(And if it's kosher to do so here, may I mention that I'm now a satisfied
customer of txcesssurplus.com ? )

I will mark this case resolved.

Cheers!
