Pending that you have files on your D: Drive that you don't want to lose, DO NOT FORMAT YOUR DISK. Formatting will erase all information on the drive and set it back to RAW settings. If you aren't sure if you have BitLocker or not, if you didn't install it yourself, you don't have it. Recommended Actions as follows: 1) Open "My Computer" or "Computer" 2) Right Click on the D: Drive 3) Go to the bottom of the list & click "Properties" 4) Click on the "Security" tab 5) Click the "Edit" button between the two boxes A second window should open. It is set by default on "Authenticated Users" 6) Click the box beside "Full Control" If you wish, do the same for "Administrator"

1) Open Control Panel 2) Click 'System & Security' 3) In the Upper Right Hand corner in the Search Bar, type "System Restore" (Without the Quotations) 4) Choose Option "Restore system files and settings from a Restore Point" 5) Choose a restore point that was created before the time frame that you lost your configuration. This option will not only restore your system settings but your personal settings as well.

There's nothing switching the display. the back of the screen is usually a bank of white LEDs behind a diffuser or a white florescent flat tube. That is what you are seeing. In front of this is a layer with each pixel point represented by a blue red and green LCD cell. When current is applied the structure of the LCD becomes amorphous and the light shining from behind lights up the pixel through a polarising screen. If you can see the white backlight then some thing may have gone drastically wrong with the display. that's unusual because normally the display is all 'off' when the display is at rest (no current). So either your display/ video output is in serious trouble or it's another issue that I can't answer because there's not enough info. You may need to take it to a repair technician to assess the situation in person.

BIOS updates have gotten much less risky over time, but things can still go wrong. You need to get your system model number and check the SONY website to ensure that you did in fact install the correct BIOS. This is the most common problem when the BIOS update seems to work, but reboot fails. Some BIOS updates are restricted to certain countries and/or certain sub-models. You may find a procedure that will let you reload the original BIOS and get control of the machine back. If not, you may have what we refer to a "bricked" machine. You can probably send it back for repairs, but they are usually too costly to consider. It may be too late to say this, but I learned a long time ago a good set of rules about BIOS updates:

1. BIOS updates will not fix hardware problems that pop up - if the old BIOS was working before, the new version won't make things right.
2. BIOS updates should only be considered if you are upgrading hardware (and in some cases software) and find that the original BIOS does not support it. Ensure that the new one DOES support it before updating.
3. The golden rule of BIOS updating is.....if the machine ain't broke....don't fix it. A perfectly functional machine will not function more perfectly with different code. The risk isn't worth the some unknown potential benefit.

we need to go step by step first try this ,The problem seems to be with your RAM ,change a new RAM . if the doesn't work then problem may be with your hard disk,try to boot it from external disk or pen drive. finally the most worst part can be your mother board.
