I had the same thing happen and everyday it would freeze up more and more till I couldnt harldy even start up my Vaio. Had to replace the motherboard and in hindsight I am not sure I would do it again as the new motherboard would not run XP or work with my 2 gb of ram so I had to replace those as well.

Having a sony I know the fans only run about a minute at start up and once in a while when the machine is on so if the fans run at start up they are working fine then mine go off.

If its rebooting -then it could be an overheating problem- make sure the fans are working

When I turn on my desktop computer it runs for 5 seconds and shuts off and keeps doing that.

I have the same problem with my computer and almost the reason for that is the Power Supply of your computer. try to do this, if you notice when you turn on your computer and you hear a whistle sound then it is positive that the Power Supply have a problem. Try to use another power supply for your computer.

CLCTech!!

Hello, I have a Sony Vaio VGC-V3M and I have just a black screen after starting it. I can hear windows loading, and I get the vaio logo, then the Windows XP logo but then blackness. I can get the Bios...

If you can see the windows logo and get into the bios then it is not the graphics card.

Most likely cause is the os itself, just after post press F8 repeatetly until you have the boot mode page open and choose safe mode, in safe mode do a system restore, goto start bar, programs, accessories, system tools and system restore, and start from a resent restore point. This can can take a while, so be patient and let the computer restore itself until you have the windows screen up.

If the restore dosent work, goto safe mode again, right click on my computer goto properties and enter device manager, in there under display adapters click on the plus sign and uninstall the graphics card, reboot. hope this helps post back if need farther help.

My Sony VGC RB38G keeps losing power. I suspect it is an intermitent proble with the power supply. What is the part number for a replacement PSU and where can I get one?

You can call or go online to get the power supply you need. I recommend Tigerdirect.com, pricewatch.com, or 3btech.net.

Go online to get the phone #, and call to make sure you get the right one.

Wii plug in

plug the Wii into your computer and then try the add new hardware in you control panel, make sure you are plugged into the internet when you do, I think the drivers may need to be installed when the Wii is plugged in and on with you internet connection going in case it needs to update the drivers. I sure hope that gets you up and going, If not just write back here and I'll see what other solutions we can come up with. thanks
