I hate my laptop pcg-grt916z

schouw — Wed, 16 Feb 2005 18:31:31 GMT

I have my laptop for 10 months, it still falls out 10 times a day with "Driver not less or equal". I've first tried with this sit, no solution, now I have phoned Sony, no solutions. I am sick with this computer. If Sony is such a good firm they would offer me now a new laptop. My wife has an SUPERMARKET laptop for three years and has no problems at all.

Have you telephoned VAIO Link?

Yes two times, but in the first place they didn't know about driver not less or equal.
- First I started the recovery dc (i did it at least five times)
- Then I installed my router ASUS 500wl, i started "googling", within half an hour the problems started again.
I should get an e-mail from vaio-link if the driver of the router is not good. It is purchased in a shop and works with my other laptop and normal computer.Why not with such an expensive notebook.

It's easier said then done using e-support, but my login-name was send to my work, but I want it now send to my lap-top, but that isn't possible, because my other e-mail address (I use at home) is not recgocnized. It was easier when you can fill in serial number and the e-mail address you want to contact with.

Typing a message , my notebook falls out. It takes about ten minutes to get back to this site. With everything I do I must act quickly because every moment the notebook can fall out.
It is not relaxing computering

After falling out again I can send an error report to microsoft. The answer Iget back was RAM memory faillure.
How can I check if the RAM is OK.

Again falling out, I had typed a lot.
I already found that link some weeks ago, but I didn't had a floppy drive, I burnt it on a cd but that did.t help. Or I don't know how to go on.
That the problem with such errors, Me as a customer don't have so much knowledge that I can solve the problem,
I can make some thing of wood , I can paint, but computers is so much different, it can not be expected that as a user try and hope behind my notebook.
Is it not possible to connect all kinds of sensors on the computer and diagnose the errors???

You need to make a bootable CD with Nero or CDRWIN to get the best results.

I started the link windows memory tester, i download the program I got wnst about 290 kb and then it stops with me I don't know how to go on. Why isn't it just simple. for example download and start application. Why does it always has to be so difficult.

I have maked it on a floppy drive. The tool works fine

You must make doubleclick on the downloaded file.
click : accept
then you two possibilities

1. make a bootable floppydisc
2. save CD image to disk

click 2. and save this on your cd-burner. Burn this. I hope this is correct.

Re: I hate my laptop pcg-grt916z

seb21__ — Wed, 16 Feb 2005 20:16:03 GMT

Yes it is correct.
