Then I reinserted the dvd to perform a repair-upgrade everythin was ok and in the detection of the hardware it detected my graphics card (ATI Rage 128) but when I clicked on test I had exactly the same behaviour.
So it appears that it has to do with my graphics card. Do you have any ideas as to what to do now?

When choosing to load windows everything goes smooth.

I have an AMD-64 @ 3GHz. I have a 20Gb hard drive dedicated to windows and a 10Gb to Linux.
