Hi christopher, I've bought this computer over 3 years ago  and used nothing but Ubuntu on it. As far as I can remember the problems started with the Quantal release (12.10). Just random lockups, sometimes happening more frequent. I've tried clocking down my GPU (Coolbits) to the lowest possible clock, but it still happens.
First I thought it was somehow temperature related, both the GPU and CPU reach 80 degrees Celsius sometimes, but after some testing it even happens when there around 50 degrees as well. I guess it does seem to be related with heavy CPU usage, this seems to trigger the situation more often explaining the fact I suspected the temperature at first.
I'm still wondering if it isn't hardware malfunction, is this a probable cause for these kind of errors?

Title:
   NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or
  interrupt context

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The machine's (Dell Precision M6500, core i7, nVidia Quadro FX 3800M) interface frequently (once an hour at least) locks up. The mouse almost always functions fine but won't allow to click anything, it does however locks up sometimes as well.
  Sound continues to play just fine, as do all other background tasks.

  Switching to TTY1 and switching back to TTY7 will mostly recover the issue by relaunching the shell.
  Unfortunately it also results in a black screen from time to time, leaving nothing but to relaunch the window manager loosing all opened X applications.

  I have this issue since Ubuntu 12.10 and have failed finding any
  solution for it. Have tried numerous Kernels and nVidia drivers to no
  avail.

  Have been posting a lot in these two bug reports and created this new one as suggested by "penalvch":
