I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NS240E and it keeps locking up and will not let me do anything, even in safe mode. I want to do a complete wipe and restore but have lost the factory disc. Do you know how I can get these?

You should restore and/or reformat it after you take the info off it. You will have to get another copy of your operating system if you don't have a restore disc.

Can i change the video card on a vaio VGN-NS240E? I have integrated video but would like to upgrade to something that can handle games. Anyone know how?

I'm sorry. It is not possible to upgrade the Inbuilt Video card. However, the Computer is shipped with the Express Card/54 slot. You can contact your nearest favorite dealer to get the Express Card slot supported Video card and install in the Computer. This improves the Graphic performance.

WHAT TO DO IF MY SONY VAIO WON'T START?

Hi there.
Choose "LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION" if it still won't boot up try "SAFE MODE" and perform a system restore and take the computer back a week or so.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

Can't restore factory intallations and settings: Vaio VGN-FE880E

Are you doing DESTRUCTIVE recoveries or are you doing NONDESTRUCTIVE recoveries? Try another hard drive in the machine and recover to that. Nondestructive recoveries replace the operating system without destroying the personal data. Its possible the original problem is propagating over to the recovered systems. Do a destructive recovery. Understand any data not backed up will be destroyed. Possible the original problem was a trojan virus.
