There is no problem with the Nvidia GPU's.
The problem was on the Geforce 8000M series GPUs, The Quadro NVS 160M is based on the 9000M series. The GPU heat is well managed with this laptop. See my signature on how much I overclocked that GPU using Nvidia's overclock tool.
The laptop doesn't even struggle.
I say call Dell for a new motherboard and heatsink, in the case either is faulty (bad thermal paste or doesn't properly touch the processor(s), because it's bended, or something on the motherboard is miss connected and give too much power to a/some components for few example of possible problems)
