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!

screen goes black and then white and shuts down the program.

Asked by singleton in Adobe Photoshop

I have a powerful system using Vista 64-bit. I have 2 GeForce GTX 280 Nvidia cards since I like to calibrate my dual monitors separately. This problem (screen goes black and then white and shuts down the program) only happens in Photoshop CS4 under 32-bit which is what I use because of filters. This started happening this summer. It has nothing to do with file size or how long I have been on the computer. This time it happened with a tiny file.  I updated all the nvidia drivers, windows vista and put on service pack 2. It doesn't happen often. Yesterday I worked for hours in Photoshop with a large file and no problem. It only happens in Photoshop.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. I have 12 gig or memory and a large power supply. Also, plenty of fans. I don't think it is an overheating problem. Am baffled. I've tried to google it and all the answers so far seem to be update drivers. This has happened with the last two sets of Nvidia drivers.
