The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

mac startup problem

Asked by brianp111 in Apple Desktop, Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)

Tags: mac, macintosh, PowerMac, OSX

PowerMac G4, Model No. M8570, EMC No. 1914
OSX 10.4.11, Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 1MB L3 cache per processor, Memory 2GB DDR SDRAM

The machine is off. The user powers on the machine. The machine starts and gets to the login screen. A message then appears that says "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." (See attached screen1.jpg.)

The user holds down the button & the machine restarts. The user is able to login, but the machine/fan is now noticably louder & slowly tapers off to it's normal volume in @ 5 minutes.

The user says the above has been happening every morning when they turn on the machine, and has been happening every day for the past week.

In addition, this morning the following appeared on the user's desktop after they successfully logged in:
