Your computer is very fast.
The most common cause of the issue you are having are.
Really old video card drivers
the wrong version of directX installed
having locked your monitors refresh rate to something the game can't initialise.
Say you locked your refresh rate in Windows XP to 120hz at 800x600 for example.
SH3 will attempt to start in 1024x768 , and if your monitor can't support 120hz refresh rate at that resolution, the game will fail to start.
Update your drivers
Install the latest DirectX you can
try setting the monitor refresh rate to 60hz
let us know how it goes
