That's odd seeing as it was built & tested mostly on a wide range of computers with Windows Operating Systems
May I ask what your specs are? There may be a driver or two that's missing from your computer that the game could need in order to run.
It might be your integrated graphics card that's causing you trouble.
Though in saying that, the only requirements that the engine itself specifies (according to Steam) is Windows 7 & OpenGL 2.1 or newer
I'd say, make sure Windows is up to date & check what version of OpenGL you have, then try running the game again and see how that goes
