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:

Warning: A 300W power supply is required
