    The newer crash dumps are not pointing to anything precisely.

    Test your RAM modules for possible errors. Run memtest86+ for at least 8 consecutive passes.

    If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

    If it does not show any error, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers. Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

       Information
    Why Driver Verifier:
    It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

    How Can we know that DV is enabled:
    It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

       Warning
    Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

    If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

       Tip



    Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

    Hi, I haven't forgotten about this. Just extremely busy at the moment. Thanks so much for your reply. As of late, I also haven't been getting the BSOD as often. Will let you know as soon as I have done the above steps.
    Thanks again

    Hi,
    I have tried to run memtest several times. The test will get about just over halfway and then the computer reboots itself. During that time, no errors are shown.
    What should I do now?
    Cheers.

    That is memory controller related issue. The memory controller of the hardware is failing. I would suggest you to take the laptop to a Sony Service Center.

    I am just an interpreter or translator, mate. I say nothing, I just interpret.
