    If your machine is relying on the video hardware of the CPU then you may have an issue. If your machine has a GTX-860M you should be able to play with that and may just need a little configuration.

    If you do have a GTX-860M then try this:

    Try the following to be sure your discrete GPU is being used rather than the on-board IGP.

    1. Open the nvidia control panel
    2. Manage 3D settings, Program settings tab
    3. Click add to choose the program to customize
    4. Click browse and choose: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dead Space\Dead Space.exe
    5. Set your graphics preferences and click apply.

    Then do the same but specify the DS2 executable.

    If you are unsure of your hardware specs you could generate a Dxdiag report, upload that to hastebin and post the link to that here.

      I can not play game either. It has to do with refresh of our laptop screens. It has 44hz refresh game requires 60hz. Any solution Barry?

        I've never seen any real, genuine video graphic circuit board with such an odd cyclic rate.  I'm betting that only questionable quality IGPs are likely to end up running that way. 

        Minimum system requirements:  
        CPU: 2.8 GHz processor or equivalent (any Pentium 4 2.8 GHz or better, AMD Athlon64 3000+ or better, any Athlon64 X2 or Core Duo processor)
        		   
        RAM:
                 		1 GB (XP), 2 GB (Vista or Win7) or more
        		   
        GPU: 256 MB Video Card and Shader Model 3.0 required. NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or better (7300, 7600 GS, and 8500 are below minimum system requirements) ATI X1600 Pro or better (X1300, X1300 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements)
        		   
        DX: DirectX 9.0c
        		   
        OS:
                 		Windows XP (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7
        		   
        Store: At least 10 GB of free space
        		 
        Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
        		 
        ODD: 8x speed or faster CD/DVD drive

      I have this problem in all three games in liquid sky. It's a cloud computer that run Nvidia grid in windows server edition 

      I just can't figure out what it's actually checking

      I will try to run dxdiag but it's really finicky to do anything windowsy on a touch screen  Operating desktop windows in touch screen is a a nightmare.. If you could run it there and find out would be much greater. Might be enough to test it on any windows server Nvidia grid pc. Not this particular one
