    Hi there,

    I own a VPCZ12L (Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M430 + Nvidia 330M + SSD) and Windows 10 Pro 64
    It works AMAZING WELL and much better than others computers ...except for one reason:

    - Sometimes it suddenly shutdown when using Teams, Zoom or from time to time with Google Meets.
    I have already disabled GPU acceleration but it still happening. It happens with the Intel GPU and with NVIDIA G330M.
    I can´t find any relevant events on Event Viewer and Tools like CPUID or OCCT don't show any clue.

    1. Anybody have resolved this?
    2. Somebody knows how to install the latest driver for NVIDIA 330M or adapt some of them?
    Thanks a lot!

    SEEMS TO BE SOLVED!

    Two factors helped to me in this situation:

    - I disabled the Turbo Mode that was enabled in BIOS. And this caused temperatures above 100 ° C ... and the temperature control systems eventually could no longer keep the temperature below the shutdown temperature. Turbo Mode in a VPCZ1 mode generates unstable performance
    - I did a clean install of Windows 10. Many problems that I used to think of as "normal" disappeared.
    I must say that I have not installed ANY Sony software or drivers and for me it is like having a powerful new laptop.
