Is it a workforce 610 printer and are you running windows 7 with sp1? If so, then there is a known compatibility problem w/ sp1. I found this out by calling epson. You have to manually create a printer port with the ip address of the printer and then manually add the printer.

According to the specs, it only has 3 pci slots, so a pcie video card will not work. If I were you I would not spend any money upgrading that rig. I would just save it for building a new computer.

Using epoxy to glue the clips back in place should work fine, as long as the glue holds. Another idea would be to use a piece of wire, preferably insulated, and loop it through the holes where the clips were and tie a new loop for the bracket to connect to.

Try running the computer with the side panel off and a fan blowing on it. If the 5450 runs much cooler, then the problem is you have a crappy case with bad airflow.

Your best bet for getting a tour of an Intel Fab facility is via a job interview. I went on two interviews for Intel's Fab 32 and a tour is part of the process. It's interesting. All clean rooms are viewed through windows. I wouldn't make a special trip there just to see it. Based on the...

I agree with dropping the bclk to 100. The only reason to raise bclk with these chips is for extreme overclocking. As long as your temps are below 80C when stress testing and your system is stable, you are fine. Under normal use, your system will run much cooler than when testing.

For starters, 100 Celsius is 212 Fahrenheit, not 130. Now that that is clear, yes that is way too to for that card. The card is likely clogged with dust, or your case has terrible airflow. Clean any dust out of the card and run you computer with the side panel off to see if it lower the...

Did you even read the thread you linked? It apparently is a flaw with the voltage regulators used in some cards. Your options are to rma the cards and hope they send you a working one (not guaranteed from what I read) or return the cards for a refund and buy a different model. I suggest...

Try these steps. 1. Download "Driver Sweeper" 2. Boot in safe mode and uninstall ccc and drivers 3. Run Driver Sweeper and remove all ati and amd files 4. Reboot windows with the 6950. It should load the default windows driver. 5. Download the newest drivers again from the AMD website and...

Get the 2500K cpu instead of the 2310. Also get a aftermarket hsf like the Hyper 212+. With the unlocked multiplier you should easily be able to overclock to at least 4.5Ghz.

Yes, that is a quality power supply with more than enough power for your system.

Get the GTX 460, 2500K, and a P67 board that is sli capable with 2 x8 pcie slots. The faster cpu when overclocked will help at your lower resolution. Then in a year or two if you have the money, you can buy a bigger monitor with a higher resolution and another GTX 460 for SLI. By that time...
