Netbook VPCM13M1E Freezing

[Decko65]

Good morning folks,

I have recently purchased a Sony Netbook and I'm having problems with the screen shuttering and then freezing.  All buttons are rendered useless and then I'm forced to manual restart. It's loaded with Windows 7 Starter and I've noticed the problem in different browsers.  Has anybody got any ideas?

George,

Same problem here also, screen becomes black or freezes

Problem only occurs on battery power.

I made a phonecall to sony, but they do not know that a bios version R0130Z4 exist.

Where should i go to in holland to fix the problem

Hi All

Finally managed to get the link from Sony for the BIOS R0130Z4 update. Unfortunately it hasn't solved the problem. So not sure where to go from here; waiting for Sony to come back with another solution.

If anyone would like a copy of the update let me know and I can email it to you.

Hi

Did Sony ever get back to you. Is there any more news on this problem?

After loading the BIOS update, My machine seemed stable as I just left it on battery power for a good numbr of hours.

I think this must have been a fluke as my machine now just locks up still when on battery power. I have lost total confidence in it.

Regards

Phil
