If an extra memory module is not installed properly, your VAIO computer may not turn on.
Use of memory modules not specified by Sony or improper installation of memory
modules may cause the computer to fail to boot or to become unstable.
In such a case, reinstall the memory module.
If you use a memory module other than the Sony branded memory module, contact the
sales dealer or the manufacturer of the memory module.
If you bring your VAIO computer directly from a cold location to a warm one, or use it in a

In such a case, allow at least one hour before turning on the computer.
Do not use the computer in a high humidity location (a relative humidity of more than 80
%), as it may cause the computer to malfunction.
