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!

Dell Dimension 4550 Crashing with Blue Screen

Asked by pzozulka in General Computer Systems, Windows XP Operating System, Hardware Components

Greetings experts,

A Dell Dimension 4550 is crashing with the Blue Screen. I know it is not related to a specific software installed because I wiped the machine, and re-installed XP from scratch. It is NOT RANDOM, and it always gives the SAME BLUE screen and SAME error dump.

I tried reinstalling machine several times and it always crashes at Windows Setup, while windows is going through its 39 min installation. I restart the computer and its all fine from there.

I am now trying to Update a Sound Driver, and when I specify the location, it copies the files, and crashes while copying "alcrmv.exe". It crashes at this spot the 3rd time, however, I do not know if its related.

I replaced the memory module to a brand new Kingston PC2700 1GB, and replaced the HD with a brand new 80GB Western Digital IDE, replaced the graphics card as well.

Updated BIOS, Firmware, Intel Chipset. What else can it be??????????

Here is the dump:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters. Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select safe mode.
