What should I do if my VAIO computer becomes unstable (Windows does not start)?

Try the suggestions below:

Restore computer system files.
Use the restore point that you created before your VAIO computer becomes unstable. See

Restoring System Files Using

the Restore Point when You cannot Start Windows

for more information.

Restore your VAIO computer from a system image backup if you have created the backup. Refer to

Windows Help and

Support (

Opening Windows Help and Support

) for more information.

Any file you have created or changed after you created the system image backup will not be restored.
You need to back up such a file with

VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery solutions. See

Backing Up Your

Data when You cannot Start Windows

for more information.

Use

VAIO Hardware Diagnostics to identify problems on your VAIO computer.

With the app, you can check if the computer hardware (a CPU, a memory module, and a built-in storage device) needs to
be replaced.
To start

VAIO Hardware Diagnostics, select Tools and VAIO Hardware Diagnostics in VAIO Care (Rescue

Mode): VAIO recovery solutions.

Follow the instructions in

Recovering from the Recovery Area

to recover your VAIO computer.

If you have not backed up your data, be sure to make a backup copy of your valuable data using

VAIO Care (Rescue

Mode): VAIO recovery solutions before recovering your VAIO computer. See

Backing Up Your Data when You

cannot Start Windows

for more information.

If you have a backup created with the Windows backup feature before your VAIO computer becomes unstable, but you
have created or changed the file after that, back up such a file with

VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery

solutions.

Note

Recovering your VAIO computer will delete all the data on the built-in storage device.
