Hi,

 

The following link shows specs of your machine:

 

   http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04936075

 

What do you expect ? It is a slow CPU, small RAM, slow HDD and very low end video chip (and you can't upgrade). It is NOT a games machine. Full stop.

 

Regards.

BH

What game are you trying to run? There may be some settings that can be adjusted to help out.

Sadly, the specs are rather low for heavy gaming, but a faster HDD and more RAM may help.

You will be limted by the GPU, though.
