It is a 3-4 yrs old machine that belongs to my Genealogical Association.
(Intel Pentium 4 - 3.2 GHz - RAM 2048 MB). At the time of purchase, it
was fitted with MSWIN XP ; I repartitioned the HD to have a dual boot
(GRUB) with Debian Lenny and the original OS ; it worked very well in
such config for more than 2 years or so ; I had a mysql server on it,
with mysql databases.
Two weeks ago, while trying to boot the system, the monitor screen had
remained black. Same thing when trying another monitor. So, we took the
machine to a repair shop, where our Graphic card was being replaced ;
