hi
i recently bought me an a-series vaio notebook. one of the major reasons for me was that it's advertised as very suitable for live sets in clubs, in concerts and so on.
i'm making visuals in such locations and the vaio only works fine when the climate is normal. but when the heat is on, when you have high humidity and everyone is sweatening than i get many software crashes. several programs running absolutely stable under normal conditions produce errors and crashes thus i've to reboot several video-progs during my gig. that is obviously big <profanity removed by moderator>, it's annoying and looks like having bought the cheapest piece of discounter-notebook.
in every other aspect i'm totaly satisfied with my vaio, it never crashes, it's running fast and almost without noise, but this one issue is driving me mad.
my mate doing video performances with me is using a VGN-GRX616 and he is not having those problems! thus i'm afraid the VGN-A197XP is not constructed very well, i assume a too bad cooling of the memory.
anyone having the same problem or knowing a way to solve the issue? anyone knowing a nice workaround??
i think i will put a ventilator (a big one, like you normaly have in offices) beneath my vaio next time and see if it helps.
