Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem please, i have checked
drivers & the bios. I have run a couple of memory tests and the RAM seems ok.

My computer is Sony Vaio VGN-T2XPS/S it has 1024GB of maximum space and
technical write up advises it has fixed space of 512MB – checking ‘my
computer’ by right clicking it has 504MB rather than the 512.

This is the message I got last time it shut down:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
from your computer.

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver in identified in
the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for
driver updates. Try changing video adaptors.

Check with your hardware vendor for any bios updates. If you need to use
safe mode to remove or disable components restart your computer, press F8 to
select Advanced Start up options, and then select safe mode.

Technical Information:

STOP

Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further
assistance
