Sorry that I haven't posted in a while but I have just moved house.
I actually was able to fix the issue by deleting and re-installing all my video card drivers.
I also just did a basic maintenance check up on computer, cleaning parts and such.
I turned on the computer and booted the game, and it worked! (for more than 3 minutes that is)
I am now thoroughly my time in D:OS.
Thanks again for your help!
