• Laptop Sony vaio with windows home premium 64 - bit randomly bluescreening

  I had one laptop Sony Vaio for Christmas and a month later he badly infected and had to be wiped. My friend helped me to wipe the laptop and reinstall the drivers and a copy of windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium. A few weeks later I noticed he started bluescreen randomly. A few weeks after it starts to crash any Web browser randomly. He seems to hate Fire Fox, more than any other. It's getting pretty bad now and I really need help, trying to get my laptop in good working condition. I tried several anti virus and malware research but they apparently find nothing every time. I unfortunately did not get a disc of windows 7 recovery of Sony and would like to try to solve this problem without having to pay more money but if needed to.

  Your Sony has been provided with a partition hidden restore and you need to follow instructions Sony to create the defined recovery disc, then visit Sony support and find out how to access the hidden restore partition and the defined recovery disk.

  If your friend has destroyed the car when it installed win7, and where he got that?, you will need to contact Sony support to request the recovery disc game, for which there will be a small fee

  IMEI: 355891020417161

  I recently had some work to my computer and when I came back, my Adobe suite has been uninstalled.

  What steps should I take to re - install / checking the codes etc?

  Reinstall from the original with the original serial number disks. There is a good chance it will work. If she says "too many activations", you must contact Adobe.

  Please be aware that this is a public forum and all information that you post can be seen by the world. It's often a bad idea to post the serial numbers, because they can be stolen and Rob you of what you paid for. (Less a matter of concern for the machine numbers, but a real problem for the software). There is nothing that we can do your series of Sony or the serial number, only Sony could use it.
