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.

hardware or bios prob

Asked by CaperEscort in Miscellaneous Hardware, Hardware Components

Tags: bios, windows, monitor

Hi I have a computer here that I am trying to fix and it is acting quite strange. Computer is about five years old or so I think. has 128mb ram, 15gig hard drive, intel agp graphic card, modem, sound card. computer has windows xp on it.

From what I hear they thought that if they put the xp cd in it would install the printer (for some reason someone told them this) anyway when I received the computer it started up and went into the windows install screen (they must have click on upgrade the computer). Anyway I let it go and when it would get to registering components the monitor would turn off(not receive a signal the light indicates) tried turning off the computer (hard restart) when i turned it back on I got nothing no beeps monitor wasn't receiving a signal could hear the hard drive spin up and the processor make it's normal noise. Turned the computer back off (hard restart) changed video card it went to just to start windows (white line went across the screen) and video cut out again. Tried both pci and agp video card and same result. I replaced the memory for a shot in the dark and it installed windows and when windows booted up it loaded in to the desktop and like it was loading everything in and about 2 mins with the desktop showing the video went again now the comp won't start up again till I clear the bios or let the comp sit for a while. I was thinking maybe something was overheating but everything is cool to the touch. The hard drive was pulled from another computer that I had and formated and windows installed and put in that system when the origional quit working that was only 4-7 days ago.
