    hi everybody, I needed to replace my broken hdd and now I find difficult to install Windows 8.1

    I installed the operating system, made every update available and now I have two ACPI devices with Yellow triangle on device management

    other than that, I have a problem with the battery, continues to say that maybe it is incompatible and puts the pc in suspension mode.

    please help

    maybe I need to install the drivers in the correct order (as I previously did with my vaio sz and z11), but I can't find that order...

    you are probably correct the install order being an issue.
    I'm guessing the 2 acpi warnings are due to a missing chipset driver. I would try using the drivers listed for windows 8 unless there is an updated 8.1 driver.

    this chipset driver is listed for win8 for your model. I would try that.
    Code: 
    Intel Chipset Driver - NA
129.46 Mb - 64 bit

    Vaio's are known to report battery problems when the proper driver/software is not installed.

    again, make a list of all win8 and win8.1 drivers / firmware software and if it's not listed in the 8.1 downloads, try the 8.0 version.
