Answer
Hello

This is normal, your graphics card is an entry level card, it is not capable of playing such high intense games at high settings. You have to play these particular games at low-medium settings to get smooth gameplay experience. Or get a better card like HD 6850 to run these games at high.

Skyrim on PC problem. Can't see (screen tearing?)?

name

I downloaded Skyrim from Steam, but as soon as I start a game I get what I think is screen tearing. The loading screen looks fine and so do the menus. Its only when I'm in the game itself. For example, when I'm in the cart at the beginning of the game, I can't see anything but "shard" like things flickering. Here is a link to a screenshot of what it looks like (http://i3.minus.com/i7uwF7XjyTjcc.jpg). One second later, it might look like this (http://i3.minus.com/ibtMFUE3xa6wJj.jpg).

I tried waiting it out to see if it stopped, but it continued and made it impossible to design a character (as I can't see).

Any help would be appreciated as I don't know where to being fixing this problem. Thanks.

Here are my system specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Intel Pentium CPU, P6200 at 2.13GHz.
RAM 6GB.
DirectX version 11

Answer
From the pictures it looks like either your video card cannot handle the game or the card or driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced.

You don't list what your video card is or how much VRAM it has.

I also suspect you may be a bit low on computer capability as well as Skyrim works much better on a quadcore CPU. The P6200 at 2 GHz is barely capable of running Skyrim on its absolutely lowest settings.
