My Sony Vaio PCG-V505BX arrived yesterday. It comes with Win XP home
edition. I noticed that a few times, even when I turn the laptop on for
the first time last nite, the system would hang for no apparent reason.
Sometimes, the system even hangs at the Win XP splash screen when it's
restarting.
I formatted the HD and put on Win XP Pro. Same result but not as often.
I did a search on google and I noticed quite a handful of posts from
Vaio owners with Win XP having similar issues.
Has anyone tried contacting Sony to address the issue??? There seem to
be some sort of compatibility problems with Win XP. If you are reading
this, please post in this thread or send me an email.
As I type this, I am in the process of install Windows 2000 Pro on the
laptop. Hopefully I'll have better luck.
