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!

System Freezes

Asked by etechs in Miscellaneous Hardware, Computer Fans and Cooling, Computer Displays / Monitors

Tags: , , ,

Hi all,

I am fixing a computer for a friend that consistenly crashes.  It used to just lose part of the registry on startup and I would go into the repair mode (via the windows XP Pro CD) and copy the appropriate file from C:\windows\repair into c:\windows\system32\config to get it going again.  Painful.  
Now though, after it did this again it started up ok but freezes completely without warning or screen errors.  Just hangs, no mouse or Ctrl -alt - del.  

So, I formatted it and began loading windows again.  Now I find that it's freezing during while I'm trying to install windows.  Not at any one point but anywhere, anytime.  I am pretty sure it's a hardware problem from here on in as I have formatted the drive during hte first part of the reinstallation.  

My question is, is there a preffered method for troubleshooting hardware issues.  I can probably go about it using bits and pieces I've got around here to replace item after item inside the sys but where would the gurus start first?

Thanks,
Joe
