[SOLVED] This VAIO is driving me crazy

Patrick, I think that I can put the issue down to the version 17.0.9.1 drivers that were downloaded by VAIO Update and, like a dutiful user, I applied. I reinstalled the original Win 8 version 16 drivers, reset the power setting on balanced plan to default and waited to see what happened...

[SOLVED] This VAIO is driving me crazy

Patrick, Yes, the cause does seem to be identified. The generic drivers wouldn't load, so I have gone back to the original set that came with the laptop to see if its just the recent upgrade was the cause. Tony

[SOLVED] This VAIO is driving me crazy

An update. The removal of the Synaptics driver has seen the issues stop. It can sleep and wake without a crash. The touchpad works in a crippled fashion, i.e. a basic mouse type of set of actions. I will try and install the generic drivers from Synaptics and see if there is a difference...

[SOLVED] This VAIO is driving me crazy

Patrick, Don't know. Will set a restore point and see. If it does allow operation of the keyboard, I will then "Allow" sleep again and see what happens. Cheers, Tony

[SOLVED] This VAIO is driving me crazy

Patrick, Yes, ironically I have been plagued with BSOD's at the moment, and it is a different system. I have the current Sony supplied Synaptics driver installed. That was essentially the problem. I am sure it as something to do with power management but I can't identify what. I have...

[SOLVED] This VAIO is driving me crazy

Some small progress. I can stop the issue by turning off all power options that allow sleep. Really doesn't solve the problem, but does mean that at least I can use it reliably. Love to know if the dumps point to the offending software.

[SOLVED] Windows 7 BSOD Help Please

Patrick, Thank you for all the assistance in troubleshooting this issue. The crashes continue with NO NAS interaction so its time to buy a few new components. It has really helped to know that the issue wasn't eventually software and therefore the need to spend money clearly identified. You...

[SOLVED] Windows 7 BSOD Help Please

Patrick, Actually I had, but hadn't done anything to prove it. So tonight I downloaded 3 stress test tools to try and contain the issue entirely to the PC. I downloaded Heavyload, OCCT based on the article here...

[SOLVED] Windows 7 BSOD Help Please

Patrick, Disappointingly the new graphics card made no difference. Following the install I tried using Simplicity to read the NAS to compare music file for duplicates. I have been using this as a canary in the mine as it uses a fair amount of processor, memory and the NIC. Every run resulted...

I have had an ongoing issue with this new VAIO laptop since purchase six months ago. Essentially what is happening is that the laptop will BSOD while inactive, ie when not in use. Sometime when returning from sleep, sometimes just when the screen is powered off. I have rebuilt from factory...

[SOLVED] Windows 7 BSOD Help Please

Patrick, Firstly to help with defining what is happening, I will refer to events where the computer just suddenly restarts with not dumps as a crash, and a restart with dumps as a BSOD. Since last post, the verifier has been turned back on. There have been 2 crashes, one complete system freeze...
