applied the default domain policy and the policy which i created. but on the
computer settings only the default domain policy is the only policy that i
can see.

That is the problem. You need to asure that you have computer accounts in your OU when you define computer configuration settings in your policy. As I stated before: user accounts in OUs only apply the user portion of the policy you define. They don't "look" at the computer configuration.

Go create another OU and put the computer account(s) into that. Create and link a new Group Policy there and make your computer configuration settings in that GP.
