Hi Attila,
To be honest I don't know which video card my machine has. I received my 
machine Tuesday and I had no time to investigate.
It is a DELL latitude 5400.

The good news is that yesterday I gave another try with a live CD 
created in 17/09, and finally no more black screen when rebooting.
Thanks.
