Help with my integrated graphics

Hi,

I just bought a PC from ebay that has integrated AMD Radeon HD8570D Graphics. I thought this would be enough to run some games but when it arrived I found I wasn't able to run any games at all (apart form a few old ones). It wasn't running many games which ran on my old computer, which had worse graphics. Many games will not start and it sends me error messages such as "DEVICE CREATE ERROR!" and some simply crash. I'm not sure if this is due to the quality of the graphics or the fact that something isn't being recognized (maybe my APU? i'm not too good with PC hardware.) I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice.
Full specs are:
Motherboard Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2
APU Type AMD A8
APU Model AMD 6600 Quad Core
CPU Socket FM2+
CPU Clock Speed 3.9 Ghz
CPU Max Turbo Speed 4.2 Ghz (turbo mode)
Memory 8GB Crucial DDR3 1600mhz Performance Memory
Hard Drive Size 1tb Seagate SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM
Optical Drive 24x SATA DVD ReWriter Dual Layer
Graphics Card Latest AMD Radeon HD8570D Graphics with , DVI, VGA and HDMI Output
PSU Size 500W Power Supply with 120mm cooling
Thanks :)

It could be a driver problem, so try reinstalling the drivers for both the motherboard and APU.

Have you updated the chipset/video drivers ?? How much RAMs have you committed to graphics?

You should get decent play at 720p in medium settings on most titles. Higher frames with faster RAMs (up to 2400MHz). The A8-6600K is a Richland-core quad with 256 Radeon 'Turks' cores. It's big brother has 386. You should be able to increase the clock-speed of the GPU cores but you're taking a hit, there.

I don't believe that's an FM2+ motherboard -- it's likely a Hudson chipset. The new Kaveri APU has up to 512 'GCN' cores (but it will not run on a Hudson chipset).
