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!

When running games on my PC the PC just trips and shuts down?

Asked by Redeye2k8 in Miscellaneous Hardware, Hardware Components

Tags: Pc Issue, Power, CPU, Windows, Hardware

Ok i am at the verge of throwing my PC in the bin and starting again.

I have an issue where i can run all of my normal daily tasks on my PC such as email, internet, itunes and even my DJ software runs with out a problem, my issue starts when i try and play games. Ok i suppose i will start with my PC specs

All factory default and the system is not overclocked!

Gigabyte S Series Gaming Motherboard
AMD Phenom x3 Processor
4 GB OCZ Ram (1GB Each Stick)
Artic Freezer Pro Cooler
Storm 800watt PSU
BFG Tech 285 OCX Graphics Card - With latest NVidia drivers
Coolermaster Case (Very Well Ventilated)

I have a XFI Platinum sound card but not re-installed it just yet so using on board sound.

Im now using Windows 7 x64 (Just moved from Windows Vista x64 via clean install, I have tried a reinstall of vista and xp and the problem still occurs)

Ok i have almost re-built this PC as i have just replaced the motherboard (used to have an asus), heatsink and PSU as i thought one of these may have been the issue i also had my BFG Grfx card replaced under warranty (BFG Tech where brilliant as i now know it was not the card).

The problem i have is that i can play games such as world of warcraft and Team Fortress 2 with no problems but when i come to play games such as Left 4 Dead or Warhammer Dawn Of War II or try and run the windows PC rating (present in vista and win7) My PC will just shut down instantly (just like i have pulled the plug out or something) with no warning or any indication as what has happened in the logs when i boot back up.

please help i have no idea where to go from here!!

Thanks for reading!!
