Do you have a onboard graphic card which requires a share of your RAM (a
so-called UMA-Configuration)? If so, your resolution/color depth may be
too high for your hardware configuration. Maybe you should try some lower
settings (lower resolution/color depth or refresh rate) to reduce the
required memory bandwith.
