Check the video card and memory requirements for your games, it sounds like your video/graphics card isn’t strong enough to support video or gaming on your computer.
check if your video card drivers are up-to-date
if they are i think that its your video card, its not capable to handle the things u want to do with it. if your pretty pretty sure it isn’t it, then it lies into the installation on your computer(but i think its the quality of your video card)
You probably have a virus or two. Take it to Geek Squad or MicroCenter support, they will fix it up for under $40.
After that, pick up some virus protection like Webroot or McAfee.
I would download an AntiVirsus protector of somesort for example Firefox firewall. Or as I have, Kapersky. Sorry , you have to buy this in a shop like Pc World, or Comet. You can buy 6 months and 12 month packages. 12 month obviously lasts longer so I reccomend that. Only slightly higher in price. Once downloaded onto computer run the viruus scan through your computer. Any viruses detected try and imediatly sort them out by deleting whatever it is. In the future whenever you download picture/images from google and put them into your folders allways right clikc and clikc scan. This takes no longer than 15 seconds. Mine only takes roughly 5. Slower and older computer take longer. Also whenever you download anything to your computer, even games, allways scan them to make sure theres nothing thats going to harm your computer. The virus scan that you do at the start may take a while as your computer is shutting down so there must be a big problem. If thjis dosent work I would suggest not using that website or if this is not possible scan the website also. If this is ALSO not possible, find a contact website number and ring them up and tell them your problem. You should then be able to sort your computer out. Last idea, if none of the above work BUY A NEW COMPUTER/LAPTOP!
