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!

Sony Vaio Laptop too slow...

Asked by Sylpheed777 in Computer Fans and Cooling, Windows XP Operating System, PC Laptops

Tags: , , ,

hi there,

I have a 4 year old Sony Vaio laptop. It's a Sony PCG-FRV25
P4 2.66Ghz. When i first bought this thing i could run everything very smoothly, even played WC3 and Jedi knight 2 without any problems. Now today it's 4 years old, i could barely multitask in this thing. Even surfing firefox up to like 6-7 tabs would slow down considerably on my PC. Everything that uses graphics slows down the PC.

I've updated every update i can find, even the graphics driver. Upgraded the ram to 1gb also.

Problem is even if i just did a fresh install of this PC, the problem is still there.

My CPU temp stays around 75 or so, HDD temp around 40-50.

I'm suspecting my CPU temp might be too high as a result the P4 slows down. That's why the whole system is slow.

If i'm only running 1 problem or 2 it's fine, but if i'm multitasking or watching a super high res video, everything slows down immediately. What annoys me most is having 6-7 tabs on firefox will slow down my whole PC (firefox goes to 100% resource). I've tried diff version of firefox and even on IE7, same thing happens.

1. Are there any good free benchmarking software out there for me to test this?
2. If i do need to dissemble my laptop to clean it.. how do i do it? i can't seem to find on the web any pictures or instructions on how to open my laptop
