have you tried updating the drivers for the graphics card? direct x? checked
if the pc specs meet those required to do what you want?

In addition; do you have the latest motherboard, processor and chipset
drivers installed?

With the very limited amount of information you have provided, it's hard to
suggest a solution.
Windows will not necessarily install the necessary hardware drivers; and the
ones from the manufacturers website are better than the generic Windows
drivers.
