Have you checked with Sony? They may have insights or updates to the BIOS.
Try reseating the ram or reinstalling one at a time (don't forget to unplug and remove the battery before doing this)
I think i figured it out.. i reseated them and then i turned it on without pluggin it in (just runnging it from the battery) i went to the bios screen and it said i had 512mb again.. so i plugged it back in and went back to the bios screen and it said i had 256mb again... so i unplugged it again and loaded windows with running the battery. i went to control panel and it said i had 512mb again so i plugged it back in and like 15min later a blue screen popped and really quick and it rebooted my cpu. and now it says 256mb again cause i have it plugged in.. the blue screen flashed so fast i couldnt read it.. what could be the problem?
To see the blue screen right click my computer -> properties -> advanced -> startup and recovery settings -> uncheck 'automatically restart...' -> apply
Reboot the system, press F8 as soon as it starts to load.
That gives you a list of options, one is to disable Automatic Restart, select it, then boot normally.
Next time the problem occurs the "Blue Screen of Death" will stay visible allowing you to read it.
You were faster, my way is easier.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
well i figured it out officially i took out each ram and stuck it each slot and one slot doesnt work... is there anyway to fix tht or do i have to live with 256mb of ram??
