Fixing this laptop

A kind stranger was considerate enough to respond to my previous lament about the instability of my Sony VAIO laptop with a few suggestions, the most basic being to look for updated BIOS or other drivers. Which of course I found straight out once I went to Sony’s support site. Why I, as a registered user, wasn’t informed of the availability of an update is beyond me. So now we’ll see what happens. If the problems continue I go to the next suggestion. Thanks for the kindness of the Internet stranger.
