    More than likely it is a hardware issue. Post your specs so we can check it out.

    If you don't know how, go to your Start Menu, select Run and type DXDIAG. Save to a text file and post that here.

    Just confirming you don't have a downloaded copy, because that would potentially give the error you have.

    That aside, it looks like a memory conflict, so try closing all programs, and/or restarting the computer. And you can run a memory diagnostic as well if you want.
