What is wrong with my computer?

I recently bought a MSI All-in-One PC AE2220 and everything is running great beside just one thing, games. I herd that GeForce is a good graphic card for games and other 3D stuff but this new computer can't run any better then my old VAIO laptop. It even has a sticker in the side saying "The Upmost 3D Performance". But when I play Call of Duty: Black Ops I have to put the graphics to the lowest level and have it in windowed mode, same goes for Dragon Age II. Do I have to update something to get it running better?



Specs:

PROCESSOR Intel? Pentium? Processor T4300 (2.1GHz)

OPERATING SYSTEM: Genuine Windows? 7 Home Premium

TOUCH SCREEN: Multi-Touch

CHIPSET: NVIDIA?ION?

GRAPHICS: NVIDIA? GeForce 9300 Integrated Graphics; 256MB VRAM

MEMORY: 4GB DDRII 800MHz

STORAGE: 320GB SATA2 Hard Disk Drive

DISPLAY: 21.5” Multi-Touch Widescreen (16:9), 1920 x 1080

AUDIO: HD Audio, 2.0 Speakers with SRS Premium SoundWhat is wrong with my computer?
You have answered your own question with the quoted specs.

The integrated graphics card is you problem. When you run the experience calculation on the system page it should reflect your graphics performance is your lowest number. Install a separate graphics card with minimum 1Gig VRAM and your performace will improve.
graphic card is weak. processor should be a little faster otherwise your weak graphics card is doing all the work which is to much for it to handle. You can get a Nvidia GTS w/ 1gig mem for cheap if you are on a budget. that should let you handle more games better or go with the better GTX series if your computer can handle it and if you have the money for it.What is wrong with my computer?
Geforce cards are good graphics cards. The reason why you can't play games that well is because you have Integrated Graphics. You need a dedicated video card to run newer games. Depending on what video card you get, you may need a new PSU.
actually for those games u should check the requirements.



cpu speed is not enough plus the vga's 256 MB are not enough u should upgrade ur vga to 1 GB at least to have good graphics and enjoy the call of duty game, and make sure you've installed the latest driver for your VGA.What is wrong with my computer?
maybe a driver problem or maybe a ram speed or something else in bios settings

check this:

right click on (my computer)

select (properties)

select (device manager)

check if there is yellow signs on your devices

try to right click on tat device and select update driver
Two problems:

Your graphics card and your processor:

the graphics card is integrated which is the worst type you can get (it goes integrated %26gt; shared %26gt; dedicated) with dedicated being the best.

your proccessor is just bad, the pentium range cannot handle modern games, you need the core 2 or the i3 minimum for any recent games


Sorry to have to tell you this.


When the graphics card said that you can play games it isn't talking about hi-def modern games, they put that on the box to confuse you ans make you buy it - it is not false advertising as the manufacturer did not specify what games, they could have been talkign about games from 10 years ago, or flash games


speeding up your PC may help though, take a look at this video I found on how to do this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_4Fimol7g%26amp;feature=channel_video_title
