Hello
I have a pcg-fx401(uk)
I tried to upgrade from the xp home to xp pro sp1 and it just hangs when its installing drivers, so I did a clean install and it seemed to install ok untill xp starts then i get a blue screen saying MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION 0x0000009c (0x00000001, 0x805366f0, 0xb6000000, 0x00000181)
I installed win 2k pro and that works just fine.
I have tried all the driver updates on the sony site for my model but still get this blue screen although starting in safe mode works.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ed
Try them and hope!
As TT suggested also try to alter the power settings and try to get a copy of the PCG-FX401 Sony Shared Libraries and install these on XP Pro then install the Sony Utilities (which reinstalls the VAIO Power Management tool)...
I hope this works because I am out of ideas!:smileywink:
seems to be stable with fx501 utils, thx alot
best regards
ps will they ever post the driver packs and utils for all models? would save alot of complaints!
