Ummh. I don't know why. I should check it seriously. I have no energy to 
do this at the moment, unfortunately.

There are some possibilities. I think it is very likely that GRUB 
attempts to write something outside the screen and corrupt BIOS code or 
data on memory.

If you can test this more, please do it.
