What are you putting the card if it's a branded PC like Dell or HP brand and model, or motherboard, power supply brands and models?

the computer is by NEC and it has intel chip set or something like that.

Is ther a model on the NEC?
Did you install the video drivers for the card?

What Power Supply co you have there should be a label inside the case on the side of the psu.
Is it a AGP, PCI or PCIE card?

Did you find a Model number on the PC?
