Thanks for all who have answered to my question. I think that the problem lies in the buggy drivers as some people told.
I will try to use this suggestion below first. (The machine is in a workshop and tomorrow is saturday and the guys in the workshop will not work tomorrow, but I'll try myself.) I will try to change the kernel into a newer one as well. If it won't work I wil try using advices got from some other posts.
