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!

power pc on, nothing seen on the display. rebooting the pc 3 times it works: why?

Asked by hreinart in General Computer Systems, LCD & Plasma

something very strange happend.

a pc which i used already about 4 years without any problems is now used by a friend of mine.

he changed the monitor to a lcd flat monitor, the mouse to a usb mouse (mircosoft - 4 years old) and exchanged the keyboard to a new ps2 keayboad (was ps2 before, too).

now when turning the pc on he can't see anything on the monitor.
the red light of themouse is turned off.
normally you'd expect some bios messages and so on .

he (not an expert at all) waited about 10 minutes and then pressed the turn-off button.
he can't power it down because the screen is still black.

doing this about 2 undtil max. 4 times the monitor , and the mouse and the keyboard will will work.
(= restarting it 2 undtil 4 times , the pc works fine)

if the pc runs fine he can restart it and has no problems.

just to mention:
when i worked with my "old" ibm monitor, ps2 mouse&keyboard i had no problems at all like these.
my friend live too far away to just swith these devices.
he also doesn't own extra hardware.

any idea what he could do to improve this situation and solve this problem?
