I'm betting the farm that it's an integrated graphics adapter and you really don't have that much RAM to work with.
Why don't you go here and under the tab hard disk drives and optical drives, download the lates drivers for your model and check the software updates as well.

It's best that you use their drivers updates since it seems that at the present time, you have no display drivers installed. After you update, I would then go to Microsoft's download site and download the most current version of DirectX. Without having the display drivers installed, DirectX just won't take.

Your missing a ton of drivers, which is your main problem. Download them from the manufacturers website.

download it here:
