Why can't I open Origin?

★★★★★ Newbie

So, I downloaded OriginThinSetup.exe from the original Origin site, and I installed it. When I tried to open Origin, it said: "Sorry, your machine isn't able to run Origin because it doesn't meet our hardware specifications or your hardware drivers need to be updated. For more information please check our Install Origin help article" I had Origin on my other PC which currently doesn't work any more, and I wanted to install it on this PC too, but it gives me  that error. What should I do to make it work?
