@ Johannes Hell (johanneshell) Try this Download kernel and headers fromhttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-raring/ and install it using ubuntu recovery mode. This fix works for me. I am also using dell studio 1555.

First the display comes up with a fixed, static pattern, it switches to black, then back to a garbled screen, where a regular pattern of pixels keeps flickering. It doesn’t react to input any longer, and I can’t switch to a virtual console, either.
