4 gig RAM 512 ATI graphics card 500Gig HHD
Hi,
Check and make sure the processor is seated properly in the socket.
If it still gives you this problem your processor is most likely faulty.
The difference in noticeable speed between a 3.00Ghz and a 3.02Ghz CPU is not really worth all the fuss and you'll be better off putting back your 3Ghz CPU.
Best wishes,

I appreciate your taking the time to list the motherboard specifications. I also downloaded the Motherboard Manual from Intel.com, for the Intel D101GGC motherboard. (PDF version)
Now we know this,
1.You have a PCI Express x16 graphics expansion slot, for a graphics card.
It is the PCI Express 1.1 version technology that is used.
2.The motherboard chipset, (Northbridge/Southbridge chipset) is the ATI Radeon Xpress 200.
What I don't know is what your intentions are graphics wise. What you expect from your computer graphics.
I would recommend a VisionTek Radeon HD 3650 OC
[1GB of GDDR2 graphics ram. 128bit memory interface, with 120 Stream Processors]
(Not advertising for any particular computer parts website, but Tigerdirect and Newegg has this graphics card for around $50 U.S.)
The VisionTel Radeon HD 3650 is an ATI product just like your motherboard chipset.
(AMD owns ATI now through a buyout. It is now AMD ATI)
Using a graphics card based on the same technology as the motherboard chipset, is a recommended option. It IS NOT a necessary thing, but they 'Play Well With Each Other'.
The one thing of concern here is your power supply.
If I were to take an educated guess, (Based upon over 20 years of experience in this area, {Computers), I would guess that you have a 250 to 300 Watt power supply. (And a 12 volt rail with the capability of 18 Amps)
The Radeon HD3650 has a power supply requirement of 300 Watt, or greater power supply.
You'll be okay though.
Why?
Because this power supply requirement is based on a test computer system. The test computer uses computer components that require a Lot more power, than your installed components. This way the graphics card manufacturer is covered.
Do know that as time passes by, components inside a personal computer power supply, break down. Especially, if inside the computer isn't kept clean on a regular basis. You may want to look into a decent, reliable, 400 Watt power supply in the near future.
Sorry this solution is so long in length, but it couldn't be answered in a few short sentences.
Yes,Specs says that it has SATA controller:
Product Description: Sony VAIO PCV-RS602 - P4 3.2 GHz
