Sooo, i bought a new PC and i installed League of Legends and World of Tanks so far. When i try to load them, LoL pops out this message: "Could not load Direct3d" and World of Tanks: Your Directx must be disabled or turned off". I updated my Windows, my graphics card and still nothing.
I checked my directx acceleration and its on full. When i go to device manager, my graphics card is shown as: "A standard graphics adapter VGA". Can you suggest something else to do, cause im stuck, because i bought the PC to play gmes, and i cant... :@

I have a 64bit Windows 7

P.S im not a PC expert, i know a bunch of things but not all, so plz be easy on me... :p 

Thanks in advance.

What type of graphics card is in this system? It sounds like the drivers aren't installed / installed properly, since it should be listing the model of your card under the device manager instead of the default Windows VGA adapter driver. Have you updated or reinstalled the drivers for your specific card?

Yes i did, i put the CD that was in the Box of the graphics card (ASUS), and run the installation exe.

Is the monitor plugged into the motherboard VGA port, or the VGA port on the video card?

Also try installing the latest drivers from the website. You didn't tell us what video card you have, so just search for "<video card model> drivers". The latest AMD CCC is 14.4 and the latest Nvidia drivers are 335.23

Actually there is only one HDMI input in my PC and its on my graphics card. Beside the HDMI input, it says " VGA, DVI-I".

Also, my graphics card is: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD7870DC2TG2GD5V2/

1. Download and install this http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_unin...

2. Start computer in safe mode (restart and press F8 before the windows logo appears and choose safe mode).
3. Start the program you downloaded and installed and remove any nVidia or AMD drivers that appear on the list.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Download the drivers from here http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Window... and install them

Yeah, go ahead and give it a try. Games shouldn't give you any error messages now but if they do let me know :)
