What Should I Do If I Cannot Remember The Bios Password - Sony VAIO VGN-UX100 Series User Manual

Why does the System Properties window display a slower CPU speed than the
maximum?
This is normal. Because your computer's CPU utilizes a type of CPU speed controlling technology for power conservation
purposes, System Properties may display the CPU's current speed instead of the maximum speed.
What should I do if Windows does not start, showing a message, when I start my
computer?
If you enter a wrong power-on password three times consecutively, the System Disabled message appears and Windows
will not start. Slide up (in the direction of f on the switch) and hold the power switch for more than four seconds to check that
the power indicator goes off. Wait for 10 or 15 seconds, then restart your computer and enter the correct password. When
entering the password, check that the Num lock indicator and Caps lock indicator are off. If any are lit, press and hold the Fn
key and press the Num Lk key or simply press the Caps Lock key to turn off the indicator before entering the password.
What should I do if my game software does not work or it keeps crashing?
Check the web site of the game if there are any patches or updates to download.
Make sure you have installed the latest video driver.
On some VAIO models, the graphics memory is shared with the system. The optimal graphic performance in this case is
not guaranteed.
