This is unusual that you would see this problem on a desktop, but not on a laptop. Usually if there is a problem it is the other way around.
It's difficult to say what is happening based on the details above. Could you tell me a little more about the systems you have tried (image size, frame rate, RAM, OS, etc.) and when and where the error occurs. Thanks.
