Can't play any game..

DestroyerAngeL · 02-25-2009, 09:44 PM

Hello,

I just bought my new PC 2 days ago. The first thing I want to do with my PC is to install games to it. Unfortunately, after installing my newly bought installers, they don't work. Some stop from launching followed by "this program isn't responding" and some only leave a black screen. what should I do to it?

I used SiSoft Sandra (someone told me to used it for me to know my system specs.) and these are the details shown by that application:

These 3 images are in one window but I cut it to show all details.

Hope someone will help me on this.

Hi DestroyerAngel.
Here is what I got from your images:
Power Supply –
Motherboard – ASUS P5SD2-VM
CPU – Intel C2D E7300 @2.66GHz
RAM – 3Gb?
Video Card(s) –
Hard Drive(s) – 223Gb
Operating System - XP Pro 32bit
There are a few more things we need to know. Most importantly, your video card.

First, however, run through these steps.
If none of those solve your problem, then use these programs to find the rest of your specifications so we know what we are working with.

That is the problem, I can't locate my video card. I did the step like going to Control panel->Display->setting->advanced->adapter->properties and there are the details but I found nothing but a "VGA dll" thing in the "device type" but device status shows that it is working properly. It seems that there is no video card installed at my system.

If you're asking if my RAM really at 3GB, then yes, but the real capacity of it is 4GB (2x 2GB DDR2 DIMM).
