Troubleshooting
Why does the System Properties window display a slower CPU speed than the
maximum?
This is normal. Because your computer's CPU utilizes a type of CPU speed controlling technology for power conservation
purposes, System Properties may display the CPU's current speed instead of the maximum speed.
What should I do if Windows does not start, showing a message, when I start my
computer?
If you enter a wrong power-on password three times consecutively, the System Disabled message appears and Windows
will not start. Press the power button for more than four seconds to check that the power indicator goes off. Wait for 10 or 15
seconds, then restart your computer and enter the correct password. When entering the password, check that the Num lock
indicator and Caps lock indicator are off. If any are lit, press the Num Lk key or the Caps Lock key to turn off the indicator
before entering the password.
What should I do if my game software does not work or it keeps crashing?
❑ Check the web site of the game if there are any patches or updates to download.
❑ Make sure you have installed the latest video driver.
❑ On some VAIO models, the graphics memory is shared with the system. The optimal graphic performance in this case is
not guaranteed.
What should I do if I cannot remember the BIOS password?
If you have forgotten the BIOS password, contact VAIO-Link to reset it. A reset fee will be charged.
