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!

Blinking cursor after bios screen on boot up

Asked by Gwodan in Microsoft Hardware, Microsoft Operating Systems, General Laptop

Tags: blinking cursor, boot error, dell

My Dell Latitude D810 is not booting past the bios screen to XP and gives me only a blinking cursor in the upper left of the screen.
System ran fine at shut down - hybernate last night, and problem arose at boot up this am.
HD is a WD 160g and fairly new and I can access it on another machine with out issue.

Tried to boot dell with USB enclosure and HD but it gave an error: "Kernal_Stack_in_Page_Error"
Stop: 0x00000077 (0xc000000e, 0xc000000e, 0x00000000, 0x1A038000

Need to get this going - backing up hd now, but don't want to do a full install if I don't have to.
I just did that a couple of months ago.

Thanks,
Lynne
