    Try updating the bios to latest version, which is the one you have installed, unfortunately Sony is terrible at providing updates. You'll need a bios hack not sure who can help you with that though. I'm not sure your pc supports 1600mhz ddr3 as well as 8GB of ram might be the limit as your pc is 3+ years old that might be why it is rebooting, also in my experience vaio tend to use Samsung ram of late. Does it work with 1 stick of 8GB, it should by downgrading the clock of the ram to 1200mhz or 1333mhz 1000mhz or 800 mhz? Try it!

    Just checked your PC doesn't support 1600mhz DDR3 try and see if it will work with (1) 8GB stick. Good luck
