Hey mate, thanks for attaching the DxDiag. However, Maya uses OpenGL, not DirectX. Your video card is embedded into the motherboard, which means that your video card might not be able to handle something as powerful as Maya. Did older versions of Maya work?

Did you update your video card drivers? Try going back to an older version.

Did you change anything else, besides the video driver?

Did you do a full uninstall? IE, uninstall the video driver, restart, download the new driver, install, restart.
