It looks like the graphics is the problem. Do you know what graphics card do you have exactly? An integrated, or a dedicated graphics card? I can't be sure which graphics card do you have. But modern games like Need for Speed: Most Wanted, requires a decent graphics card to run with. Probably the grpahics card is too weak to run games...
