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!

Blank screen at bootup of Compaq Presario 5000. Motherboard is dead?

Asked by athanasius296 in General Computer Systems, Personal Computers

Tags: compaq, presario, 5000, screen, motherboard

Hi!
I have my friend's Compaq Presario 5000, and it just doesn't boot. The problem is that the monitor is blank. I can see the HD, CD lights go on, but nothing happens after that. I tried three different video card, but with the same results. I assume that the Motherboard is shot (but have no beeps at bootup), but how to verify? Is there somewhere a utility which I can use at bootup to verify that, for example a program on floppy which would automatically check the computer, and produce a results on the text file?
thanks!
