Let me get right to the point. I bought a Epson Stylus CX5200 for my POS Gobi (went out of business) computer and I can't print. Through trouble-shooting, I've been told that there's likely some issue with the USB ports and that a BIOS upgrade might help.

My Duron 1300 with onboard video is giving me escalating problems. As I was unable to get 3D graphics I tried fitting a PCI graphics card. The monitor would not come on properly at boot-up, showing only an orange LED light instead of green.

I'm not happy with this graphics card. Maybe it ...
