Try removing and then reinstalling the memory.

This is exactly the symptom I get with my faulty memory slots.

Without wishing to alarm you, reinsertion of the memory may cure your problem.

If it does not cure the problem then something else is amiss as no Sony logo means the bios is not loading.

There should be a squarish cover on the bottom of your laptop held in place by a screw. Remove it and the memory will be visible. Full instructions for adding memory/removing are in Vaio-Link or your documentation.

If both slots are occupied try booting with only one in, if that works put the second back and see if it still works.. If you only have one slot used and reinserting doesn't work try it in the other slot.

If this only works temporarily it would suggest you have a bad memory slot, hence my suggestion that if you only have one slot being used that you try the other one.
