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!

Should I leave my processor running throughout the day

Asked by fusspot in Miscellaneous Hardware, Hardware Components

Hi

This is one daft question to all you experts out there, but my computer is for family use and its used throughout the day, first thing on the morning, then at lunchtime and tea time then in the evening, its a fight for the dreaded thing.  The thing is I switch it off for a few hours in the morning then in the afternoon.

Would I be better leaving it running all day, it does have a standby, whereas if its left for 15mins it switches on to stanby, but obviousy the fan is still going, will it over heat?

Sorry if this sounds like one solid question, but had pc for 2 yrs and now on 2nd hard drive,though just installed IBM drive and not too chuffed with reports on it.

So any tips on prolonging the life of our pc would be great.

Thanks
