But it has been working fine since October and then suddenly 2 weeks' ago it doesn't start up....So do you really think I "suddenly"' have an outdated graphics/ video card???

Yes.

The Intel 4 Series (and older) video cards are unable to play 1.7.4 and future versions of Minecraft. You will need to buy a new video card or computer to play new versions.

For now, you can still play 1.7.2 or older versions of the game. To change your game to a different version, start the launcher. Select Edit Profile. In the "Use Version" dropdown menu, select the game version you want. Then click Save Profile.

For the reference: that video card is no longer supported by Intel since 2009.

For your reference: I played it fine until 2 weeks' ago!
