Angry PC Underperforming

Hi

I've just bought a PC off Ebay (Not the best place i know)
I've tried to play a few games on it and they barely get 15 FPS when my laptop could get 30-35 Quite easily when playing the same game on close to the same settings. I know it should be able to run these game at 50 - 60 + FPS. I've included a pic of what it's got inside hopefully it will help.

All drivers are up to date as i know of so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you run any anti-virus/spyware scans?? Is the video card in your laptop the same performance level as your desktop?? Have you visited:

The Way It's Meant To Be Played ??

If your game is listed the site will run a scan of your computer and give you a sort of 'grade' on if and how well the game can be played on your system.

My spyware and virus scanners run every day and have not found a single thing yet my laptop had no where near the video card of this (Laptop was a Acer 7112).

And the "the way it's meant to be played2 uses the same thing as: System Requirements Lab which i have used for a while now.

Anymore help would be appreciated.

Yeah, we're going to need to know the game you're trying to run and the specs you're comparing it to. Though if it's something processor stressful, I can already tell that you're gonna run into some problems =P
