sounds like the power-saving settings in BIOS are not agreeing with Windows settings for same. It is usually best to allow Windows only to control power saving mode, that is open BIOS screen and disable power saving mode...too late.

There is a common problem with laptops that the power jack comes loose from the main board. However this Vaio has a flying lead connector which makes it less likely. The laptop will need to be disassembled to check and I cant find a service manual on the internet. Can you log in to Sony's e-support and ask for one? I'll get back later if I can find one.

I have a customer's VGN-B1XP registered with Sony support with the same problem. I have waited since 7th Sept for a response. If only people wouldn't buy from the company with the world's worst support.
