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

be replaced.
To start
VAIO Hardware Diagnostics

Mode): VAIO recovery solutions
