Since I installed my GTX 560 Ti I no longer receive work for my other processors. How can I fix this? I have four processors doing nothing while my adpater is heating up the room.

A fairly normal situation. BOINC works by trying to make sure your most capable processor gets fed preferentially. In your case the 560 is probably doing as much work in a few hours as your four CPU cores can do in a day.
As a guide I estimate that my CPU is doing about 600 credits per core per day - say 3,600 in total, and my GTX460 something in the region of 15,000.
