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 mtech in Video Cards, Hardware Components
The graphics display on my son's PC has a problem. All OK yesterday and no system changes then booted today and the display is garbled. The Windows splash screen is broken into bits in different parts of the screen. My initial thought was that this was a driver issue so booted into Safe Mode but this was as bad as it looked like there were 3 or 4 verions of the display all out of alignment with each other. Next I booted and wnet in to setup on the PC (as this is a very basic display) and found that there were lots of other characters displayed on the screen jumbled in with the correct display. The graphics card has a separate power cable and I thought this could be loose but it was not, I even tried a different lead from the power supply. The only recent change to the system was adding a SATA2 drive a couple of weeks ago but it has run fine since then until today. Had thought it could be a lack of power from the PSU (as it has the extra drive now) so pulled power to CD/DVD and IDE drive but this made no difference.
Any suggestions or is it looking like a failed card?
