Hi,
I've already updated my bios to the last revision but Sony give a poor support to those customers. I won't buy a VAIO anymore !
As I've read on the website spokin' about VAIO problems, the problem seems to be connected to that, but yes, why not, it could be the SMI handler too. I only know that the sotware could solve it antd that's one of the several power of Linux other Windows.
Regards, Florent CHANTRET
