problem is due to your vaio getting hot you may first want to try clearing the cooling vents of dust with compressed air (you should be able to get this from your local PC shop), holding the can upright give the vents a short blast from a distance of approx. 10cm if you hold the can to close you could damage the fan..<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:06:29 GMT Thalamus.

have decided that it is a over heating problem. it only ever seems to occurs when it has been on for a while and rarly happens during the morning. <BR /> what ever is wrong with it i think it needs to be looked at proplerly as it is restarting its self now what ever the time is and how long its been on for lol.<BR />thanks anyway<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:00:37 GMT
