    Your graphics chipset is below the system requirements of any of the Mass Effect games. A graphics card is required and Intel only makes integrated graphics processors, which are decent for YouTube videos, but not video games.

    Your processor is below the system requirements of ME2 and ME3, which require a Core 2 Duo processor or higher. The Pentium Dual Core is known to cause issues.

    You may be able to launch games even if you're below the system requirements, but it's no guarantee. In order to play the ME trilogy without issues, you will need a graphics card with Nvidia or AMD chipsets that meet the requirements and at least a Core 2 Duo processor or AMD equivalent. Due to the age of your processor, getting a whole new system is prefferable to an upgrade.
