when does this symptom happen? during game play? or the game itself right off the load doesn't show an image. did these games work before and then one day stopped working?

that's actually what i was thinking, incompatibility could be it. Laptops are not really good for gaming unless you got a specialized laptop specifically designed for gaming.
