    The available photographs of desktop PC back panels with any kind of labels is surprisingly poor on the 'Net.  My daughter in law tried to connect a PC the wrong way recently, and I looked at some length for appropriate pictures that I wouldn't have to edit myself.  Generally speaking, the "wrong" video port is on the upper half of the rear side, while the CORRECT port in on the lower one third, oriented in a horizontal direction. 

    That is based on the Tower style, with a power supply unit at the top, and the backplane area at the very bottom.  If the power supply is on the bottom, the correct video port will still be on the lower half.  If the computer lies on its side, the wrong port will be either near the upper panel, or lower panel, with the correct port more centered from top to bottom, and oriented vertically. 

    This image is of what Dell calls a "Mini-Tower", usable upright or on its side.  The #2 is a wrong port to use for gaming.  But #3 is the real GPU's location and pair of ports.  Whatever that #1 labeled one is, I've seen them, never had occasion to use any, I sorta think it's for connection to TVs, or something on that order.

Your machine could be defective, and needing repairs / replacement, or you've assembled it totally incorrectly (desktop), or you were ripped off by the salesman, and there is no actual video graphics adapter board in existence inside your PC.  

WootCandy is far more experienced with this particular game than almost anyone else you'll find at Answer HQ; I doubt he will answer PMs about game problems.  I do not, because any potential solution is for all of the members, not just one.  A DxDiag report would reveal some things you've left out, although isn't as specific about KIND of computer, by which I do not mean "Dell" or "HP" or "Toshiba", but rather one of desktop, laptop, netbook, notebook, or tablet. 

P. S. When I saw Woot's mention of a DxDiag Report, and tried to look at it, all I got was an empty, blank page.  I've seen Hastebin do that before.  I've never seen Pastebin failing that way.
