bhaskar, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/precision-m6600/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (A15). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, 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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Precision M6600] Suspend puts laptop in state requiring hard
  power down + power up

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  At random (I estimate perhaps 20-25% of the time), when I suspend my
  Kubuntu 14.04 (upgraded from 13.10, not a fresh install) laptop, it
  blanks the screen, and displays a message such as that below on the
  text console.  Then, instead of going to sleep, it remains powered up.
  In this state, nothing works to get back control, not Ctrl-Alt-Del,
  Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or other function key), not ^C.  The
  only way I have found to get control is to hold the power button down,
  which is a power-down and then power-up.

  Message on console is:

  [40066.396632] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done
  [40066.767832] PM: Preparing system for mem sleep
