NIC card not working!?

The NIC card on my desktop suddenly stopped working. It says "no internet connection" and when I do ipconfig, it says "media disconnected". I tried plugging the same cable to my laptop and it worked just fine. I was trying to install Ubuntu along side with Windows, not sure if it has anything to do with this. I already installed Windows again and still can't have internet. Does anyone know what's wrong with this?

p/s: I suspect it's the NIC card because the light on the back of the PC doesn't come on anymore.

Update:

And whenever I try to update the NIC driver, the computer just shut down.

    it's very likely that you need the drivers for the NIC

    go to device manager and find out which NIC you have, get the drivers and transfer it to your pc
