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.

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?
