Coupon Hack My Sont Vaio PCV-RX450 Is In Pieces, Yet Running Right Now, But This Weekend Wouldn't Even Turn On. Any Ideas

My Sont Vaio PCV-RX450 is in pieces, yet running right now, but this weekend wouldn't even turn on. Any ideas - coupon hack

OK - When I bought the model that came w / Win ME and XP for a $ 25 voucher. Lost vouchers - always me. Yahoo pirated cat and had serious probs there - Can ScanDisk on drive C (you can in D & E!). Scandisk error caused a file. Dll. I do not know the name of this file.

Anyway ... Recently, I received a message that some "machine" or "device" problem if you take F1 or F2 to have the comptr start. I choose F1 and comptr take some time.

So Saturday, when he said comptr successful F1 or F2, hit F1 and not die - again. He looked very hot in the upper left corner of the rear comptr. (Overheating? Psupply dead?). He laid before, unplugged it PSupp location, FD & HD. The key and it started. He is now running. What could be the problem? Should I replace the P / sup? Installing XP? I have the Sony discs, but I can not imagine how I learn NEW w / o chance of losing 5 years of updates ME (MS no longer supports me). I added a 2nd HD - I have run an operating system, and? THANK YOU!
