Morning all,
My wife's Sony Viao (i3, 4 gb, 1 year old, win 8 upgraded to win 8.1) powers on fine. Windows starts normally (no virus stuff that I can see) but then ... after 1-2 minutes it just dies. Power's off. Not a windows is shutting down - this is black screen - there is no power shutoff.
If this were a desktop i'd be thinking PSU.
No significant drop / new software ...
I've built 3 desktops and have used PC's since 97. Can a laptop PSU go bad in a year ?
Other thoughts: Can this be a sony driver's / win 8.1 issue ?
Thanks for any help / thoughts ? dan
