Stupid problem

Ok so i have this really silly/stupid problem. I was playing World of Warcraft and my laptop kept freezing so i had to hard reset it, then when i tryed to start it up again it kept freezing on the VAIO screen, i found out that if i put pressure on a certain part of the computer it stops freezing (near to where the CMOS battey is) and starts loading so i did that for a while so i could Factory reset it and now it wont work at all and it just keeps freezing i thought it might be the CMOS battery failing but i have only had the laptop for about a year and 4 months i also thought it might be that i have a dead ram module.

Does anyone have a solution to this cause im really stomped and i really have no idea what to do.

I cant afford to buy a new laptop at the minute because im saving for University.

And i dont really want to sell my Supermicro 7046GT-TRF because im getting payed from hosting servers on it.

Please can someone help me?

Hi James,

From what you say, it sounds like you have a hardware problem that is going to need an engineer to check inside for a poor contact.

You can try removing and re-seating the RAM but if that does not help you will need to contact Vaio Support or one of Sony's Service Partners for further advice.  There is probably not a quick fix.

The telephone number for Vaio Support is 0905 0310006 during normal office hours.  You will need to have your Vaio's Serial Number available.
