Hi and welcome.

I am afraid that here we have nothing to do with the notebook computersa as such and so anything I post will be pure guesswork.
From the specification I would say it should play most games ok. The games are usually more to do with the graphics capability than the processor and as yours seems to have a fairly high end graphics component, the GF540 I would have though that it would be fine. Try dropping down the resolution/refresh  rate or the graphics FX and see if that makes any difference.

Why didn't you install drivers first ? Strange !!
