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!

PC has died, won't boot but still shows signs of life

Asked by garrynoblek in Computer Motherboards, Computer CPU Processors, Power Supplies / UPS

Hi

I am having difficulty troubleshooting a PC that simply won't startup anymore. It was working fine and then one day it just went dead. I have disconnected all drives, floppy drives etc and removed the cables.

When I switch it on, the power supply fan runs as normal, so does the CPU fan and a small fan on the motherboard. It just seems to hang at this point. I look at the case power LED and it does nothing. I listen out for any error beeps, again, nothing.

I thought it could have been an issue with the power supply maybe so i swapped it, same thing happens.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
