you need to check the device properties of the system
goto control panel then click on system then hardware then device manager

if its a newish laptop then no your will need the drivers for the graphics card from the supplier of the card, thats providing it is a driver problem

Its unlikely to be anything else but drivers, I would look on the PC manufacturers website for the help finding the right drivers.
