Hi guys I have Penumbra Black plague and overture and Amnesia and all of them dont work

I have:

Intel ® 82865g graphics controller with extreme graphics 2 2.80 GHZ and HP Compaq computer

I can Run the tutorial on penumbra smoothly on low settings then it just crashes when I get to the part were you have to sneak. The intro runs fine then just has a black screen any1 know how to fix

Again, I'm not the best with computer specs yet (still getting the hang of it), but it sounds to me that you either have a weak graphics card or low amount of VRAM. Perhaps upgrade?
Your computer is unfortunately below requirements to successfully run any of the games.
I just upgraded an old Compaq PC I had as well with a very nice graphics card for a friend. So, if you want tell me what exact model do you have to check what gpus are supported for an upgrade. Even the cheapest ones can run these games.

I have the D510 CMT which is a little bit older but pretty much the same thing. You can only install a low profile AGP 8X card in this computer. This is the best that I found in newegg and it supports OpenGL 3.1:
