| Sony Vaio PCG-7M1M Hi there, I own a Sony PCG-7M1M laptop and recently it has just started locking up, keyboard wont type and when I try and re-install xp home it gets to installing devices it just reboots. It can lockup at the bios, half way through booting I cant dont anything because sometimes the keyboard does not work. Anybody got any ideas as what could be wrong. Thanks Paul |

If it locks up arbitrarily, the problem is a hardware fault of some sort. If it has two RAM chips, try booting with one at a time to eliminate RAM as the source. It could be the HD. You can remove it and with a notebook to desktop drive adapter, mount in a desktop and run chkdsk /r to eliminate it as the source. Otherwise, it is likely a mainboard problem and you should use your warranty. Q |
