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! |

Asked by shrirajshah in Computer Fans and Cooling, Computer CPU Processors, PC Laptops
I am using an HP Pavillion dv6000 for almost a year and a half. I use it a lot for playing World of Warcraft. The Iaptop always used to heat up a lot but still it was working fine until about 4 months back and then it started shutting down by itself. I could hear the fan running hard prior to the shut down. I use a laptop cooler but even then it would shut down especially in certain parts of the game. For all normal applications it used to work fine. However, from today my laptop just shuts down about every 10 minutes after start up with even normal applications like office or even internet explorer and even in the safe mode. I tried letting it cool down and then try, but even then it would shut down between 5-10 minutes.
I called up HP support and they are asking me to upgrade BIOS, but warn that if the laptop shuts down in between the upgrade then basically there is no way to recover the data on the computer and I will have to send it to them for restore. This kind of scares me since I have lot of important stuff on the laptop. I can back it up, but even that is difficult since the laptop keeps shutting down in between. The other recommendation they are giving is to restore to original settings and basically re-install everything which is a pain.
Has anyone else faced this issue? If so, can you please tell me if you have been able to fix this and how? Will really appreciate as I am stuck as my laptop is almost unusable. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
