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!

Computer randomly freezes, among other things...

Asked by agruber85 in Windows XP Operating System, General Computer Systems, Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: Deep freeze issue, Installer issue

First, off this is a brand new computer, only about a few weeks old. So I feel that these issues should not be happening. It will randomly freeze to the point where keystrokes do not even register and I have to hard restart it by holding in the power button. Another issue with the system is that it will not allow me to install or uninstall anything because it says there is already another installation going on. I have restarted many times so I KNOW that there is nothing being installed or uninstalled and this message keeps coming up. However, recently, the computer did deep freeze in the middle of a windows update and I can no longer install those updates, so that might have something to do with the installer issue, but the freezing started prior to both of these issues.  I do not know if all these issues are related or not, but I need to resolve all of them. The hardware specifications are as follows: HP Compaq dc7900 small form factor. Let me know if any other information is needed to solve any of the problems. Sorry that this post seems to be all over the place, but I am at a loss as to what to now do. Thanks for any help that can be given.

The event viewer message for the installer issue is posted below. There appears to be no event logged for the freezing.
