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!

Built new computer has problem need input

Asked by Roba122 in Miscellaneous Hardware, Hardware Components, Peripherals

Tags: keyboard, few, i

I have just built a new com[puter for my girlfriends mother. I built it with a all new components.  It ran fine for the first few days and now its locking up and freezing. Its completely random.   Its just recently started to re-booot itself too, theyre telling me, though I have only seen the freezing. Mouse, Keyboard, and Ctrl+Alt+Del dont respond have to push the power button to restart.  So here is what I've done to trouble shoot it. I've updated the entire thing all the drivers OS the whole thing all the software is certified to work with windows except Nero Rom that hasnt even been used yet (its not using the whql drivers).  I ran Memtest on it no errors.   I used everest software from lavalys to check out everything and it all looks good.

configuration:
DVD Rom
CD-RW
80 GB HD
256 MB Ram
3.5 floppy
Motherboard/ W/ On board audio
ATI Rage 63 mb  Card AGP
AMD Sempron 2800 Chip
*****235 Watt PS****

I realize the PS is a little small other than that I can only think that there is a motherboard problem.   So does anyone have an opinion I think that the PS is too small but am unsure.  Other than that the motherboard is the only thing I can think.  The case is well ventilated though I could probably do to add another fan.  The bios doesnt have any temp sensing and I cant figure out how I can find that so any input there would be helpful.  

bottom line I ruled out memory and Video card

Drivers are good no BSOD or anything

The only thing that jumps out at me is the PS

If its not that than I think the MB

I'm adding a new fan though I dont think heat was a problem

So any input?  I need to get this resolved soon cause everytime i go over there "so any idea about the PC"
