Hi there, it seems that the OS (operating system) is corrupted. You will need to reinstall it. Download an installation cd, burn it and you can start the process.If you need some further support, please enter my free support chat athttp://pcsupport.eu.pn/ and select free support chat

Most likely yes. You should uninstall any software that comes by default with the manufacturer. Even better, reinstall your windows so you get all your setting clean.
Then just install window anti virus and you should be fine.

Stop using it. Bring it to a repair shop ASAP. You need your PSU replaced and if you keep using it you'll need your motherboard replaced as well. In fact if you keep using it you could burn all of your internal components out.

Huh? Version of what?

does it have giga pocket on it the pcv-v200g

First, is the monitor turned on? Is it hooked to the computer? Do you get a message on the monitor that says something like "no signal"?

If the above is true, I would suspect that the video card on your computer is not functioning.

Continuous beeping on startup probably means RAM issues. Try replacing the ram or, if your pc has 2 or more sticks, try to start with only 1 of them.

If you need to ask HOW to disassemble a laptop, to remove the optical drive, please STOP, and instead take the computer to a qualified technician, for proper and safe assistance.

the drive is struck try insert pin at the edge and pull it out.....

To fix your problem please follow the below given steps
Step1 Power on your computer and wait until there should be an image displaying on your LCD monitor. Look directly into the monitor from a distance of about 1 inch way. Cup your hands around your face to block out the light in the room and get a clearer view of the LCD screen. Check to see if there is a faint light visible in the screen, which will indicate that the cold cathode backlight has gone out, or no image at all, which will indicate a different problem.

Step 2 Check the manual that came with your desktop LCD monitor or navigate to the manufacturer's website and find the model of cold cathode bulb that the monitor uses as a backlight. Purchase a corresponding replacement bulb

Step3 Power off your computer and then remove the monitor cable from the port on the back of the computer case. Disconnect the monitor stand from the monitor either by pulling out the plastic latches or by removing the screws holding it to the monitor's casing.

Step4 Lay the monitor face down onto a stable work surface such as a desk or table. Take out the screws along the edges of the monitor's casing and set them aside. Lift the back side of the monitor case off of the monitor and set it aside. Check to see if your model of LCD monitor has the back light directly exposed on the lower end of the monitor or if it is hidden behind another plastic or metal piece.

Step5 Remove the screws holding the plastic or metal piece over the bulb if there is one present and set the piece aside. Check to see if your model of monitor keeps the bulb in a plastic casing or if it is soldered directly to the metal. Use a soldering tool to remove the solder or instead use a rotary cutting tool to cut into the clear plastic casing around the bulb if it is inside a case.

Step6 Slide the new bulb into the open spot on the monitor and either solder it in place or use a piece of tape to cover over the opening you made on the plastic casing with the rotary cutting tool. Place the metal or plastic cover back on if there was one and reattach the screws. Set the casing back onto the monitor and place the screws back in.

Step7 Put the stand back on the monitor and then reconnect it to your desktop computer. Power the computer on and wait for an image to appear on the screen to make sure the back light bulb was installed correctly.

Please rate me if this solution works for you

Thanks......Have a great time.

Turn your computer off, and disconnect the power-cord.

Look at the "back" of the desktop.

There will be screws holding the two side-panels in place.

Select the panel that is *FARTHEST* away from the many connections (keyboard, mouse, USB), and remove those screws.

Remove the side-panel.

Look for the stick(s) of RAM.

Count the number of "slots" for RAM.

Make a note of which slot(s) are in-use, and which are empty.

If you have "empty" slots, you can add sticks of RAM. Otherwise, you'll have to remove the RAM, and buy a bigger/better replacement (compare to replacing a bald car-tire with one with full-treads).

Disconnect all the cables from the desktop unit,
and take the computer to a computer-store.
They will check (online) to see the maximum amount of RAM that your Sony will support, and compare it to the current amount of RAM.
They will sell you "compatible" RAM, and probably, if you ask nicely, will install the RAM for you (it only takes 15 seconds). The "smaller" a computer-store that you pick, the more-likely that you'll get "free" installation, if you buy the RAM from them.

1 Unplug the computer. As a safety precaution the hard drive removal should not be attempted while the computer is still plugged into the house current.
2 Pull the cover off the computer. This should be as simple as removing a few screws and sliding off the cover. If the process seems more involved that this, then consult your owner’s manual for the computer.
3
Locate the hard drive.The hard drive usually comes in the shape of a black-plastic rectangular box enclosed in a metal casing. It is linked to other components by a unique connecting device that is easily recognizable. This device is a long plastic ribbon-like cord that has a long interlocking and connecting device attached to it.
4 Remove the metal housing. This should be as simple as removing a few screws.
5
Disconnect the hard drive. All you have to do is pull the interlocking end of the lock ribbon cord until it coves free. This should not require an extraordinary amount of strength. It is similar to pulling an electrical cord from a wall socket.

Step 6 Unscrew anything that is still holding the hard drive in place and then pull the hard drive unit out of the computer. Now you can externally hook the hard drive to another computer to double check the data base. For this you will need an external holder, which you can purchase for $25 to $50 at your local computer store. Or you can add the hard drive unit to the inside of another computer tower.
