So I bought a computer and its equipped with the vga stuff for gaming. My question is, every time I try to open my game it crashes. The log says everything is ok. My question.... Could I have a graphics card that is too small? Maybe it isn't good enough to run the game? I've tried 5 different games and none of them will work.... If so, can someone point me in the direction of a good graphics card and where to get one?.. Thanks for any help

Is it just the games that crash, or does the whole computer crash?

It's simple to know what graphics you have, go into control panel, device manager and go to display adaptors and it'll tell you in a drop down list

Lol Run In low settings I think, never had a card like that so I wouldn't know, trying to be of some assistants. No lags and good GPs, around 59 on all high end games, which before that I could never run high reflections.

I wish pc games would work on Xbox lol Update your graphics and so on like I did, I replaced mine with a nvidia gtx, cost around $60 on eBay, replaced the power unit and motherboard. I got a old 2008 PC for free and did it up, it's cost me $170 so far, not bad for my graphics.. No lag and I get good fps on high settings.
