Why is Fallout 4 not working on my PC?

Post » Fri Jan 15, 2016 10:38 pm

I bought the game yesterday and, it's not working. It starts up with a black screen and says Windows is trying to resolve a problem and will notify you when one is found. I don't know how to fix it and have tried everything. dxdiag:

Your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to run the game. You don't have a video card, just Intel graphics.

4GB of RAM is below minimum requirement (8GB)


Intel HD graphics is below minimum requirements and the Sandy Bridge version of Intel HD graphics doesn't support DirectX 11. It is a DirectX 10.1 capable card. This is the problem. The card will not run the game at all because of this.

"Why can't I run the game, other than not meeting any of the specs or having checked that at all before purchasing?"

I'm starting to think people think PCs are like smartphones - install, play.

Seems like you've been here every day telling people to post dxdiags so it wouldn't surprise me that you'd have that perception by now.
