C de-Avillez, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6410
an update is available for your BIOS (A15). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  Upgraded to Raring; when booting using kernel 3.7.0-2-generic, a login
  to Kubuntu/Ubuntu fails with the errors shown in the attachments.
  
  This has been happening since Quantal, around Beta2 -- on Quantal, I
  would have such a failure (or a GPU lock-up, like in bug 1048701) every
  so often: on Ubuntu, after a few hours, on Kubuntu usually on
  logout/login, or -- just once in ~ 2 weeks, during normal usage.
  
  On Raring it seems guaranteed to fail *always* on login. Once failed,
  laptop has to be power-cycled for the display to work again.
  
  Booting back on the current Quantal kernel (3.5.0-19) allows me to work
  again.
