Update your graphics driver for maximum graphics performance. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer to download such updates. Download Reginout, a registry cleaning software and perform full registry scan.

make sure all the proper drivers are installed, check for updates for your graphics by going to Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools then click "computer management" once that opens click device manager, find "display adapters" then right click your display adapter and click update drivers.

I think is your graphics card, it just barely meets the minimum, try upgrading it, but if the problem persist and if your computer is not a laptop, u can easily upgrade it for cheap, depending on the motherboard type as low as $10 much better than the graphics you have now.
