I take it that you have tried launching ARK with the last option which is Reset Game Resolution ?
Just for fun, if you were to check your launch option on your old computer, is there anything in there ?
the launch options will ignore all commands you have added.
just start ARK normal with "Play Game".
if you had messed with the ini-file and do not know how to reverse it: delete it and verify the game data with steam.
PS
those "Launch options" ("Launch ARK (...)") are always there.
However, he says that this is a new computer, so its a fresh install, there should not be any launch options entered manualy and ini file should be fine.
Like you said, he should be starting the game with "Play Game"
Now I am curious to know what is this new computer ?
Go to Help, System Information and copy/paste the information here please.

you want to play on a Laptop. those things have a very strict heat and power draw limitation.
always use a cooling pad and let the laptop connected to the power or you will run into lower performance due to heat and power draw.
start with medium settings at 1080p and adjust it from there.
