whts ur problem explain it

You might have put the computer into hibernate; have you tried pressing the power button? It should wake the computer up if it is asleep or hibernating. It is also possible that your monitor cable is unplugged.

this issue might with screen resolution.
You can adjut this screen resolution by Right click on the desktop->Properties->settings tab. There you can find the screen resolution setting.
adjust that settings to 1024X768 and press Alt+A to apply.
After finishing this it will prompt you for confirmation and now you need to click on "Yes" so that this setting will save.

Purchase a USB wireless network adapter. It is the easiest way. No opening of the case. Easy installation of drivers.

you can connect any keyboard as long as there is a USB port

Assuming you have not already upgraded the system, you will need to add a video card with DVI output to your computer. You need a PCI-e x16 card and to make sure to either upgrade your power supply or choose a card that will not exceed the power supply's capacity. The original Power supply provided 305W (max.).

The alternative is to simply attach a DVI to VGA converter and stick with the on-board VGA only output but send it through the DVI port on the monitor.

I hope this helps.

(you should pay attention to heat issues if you add a video card; I've generally found that ATI cards run a bit cooler than nVidia cards for the same generation/performance.)

Try reinstalling the Drivers, Goto the Manufacturers Website, Pull Up the model and Find MOBO Drivers or if their is one for a USB Hub

Replacement fan, either Ebay, or Partstore.com. Your choice. Usually Partstore has all of that stuff in stock.

You are loading too many TSR's ( Terminate and stay Resident ) Drivers and probably a lot of **** that adware and spyware have thrown into your start sequence.You can go to BIOS and change your Boot sequence to 1st CD 2nd Floppy 3rd HD. Put your original CD/DVD into the drive and boot. It will say " hit a key to boot from CD " hit a key. You will boot to operating system where you can go to " RUN " type SYSINFO and change some of the foolish things that are loading. Be aware, do not delete the lines, but put a REM; in front of the line. Just in case you needed that line you can take out the REM

u must change ur video card....

Sony is the worst about updating drivers or keeping them on their support site. Keep this in mind for future purchases.
If you are running windows XP SP3 or higher you can pull the device ID's and Vendor ID's from the device manager. With those ID's you can goto www.pcidatabase.com and lookup the device and vendor id and see who made the sound and display adapter and what model it is.
Then you can goto the respective vendors website and download drivers directly. This doesnt always work depending on the hardware but it's a good place to start.
Good Luck
