    It's too late to return it.

    Your options is to pretty much sell it.

    Have you dealt with Sony Support at all on this? As you've seen, it's too late to return it, but Sony's Support should be able to help you if you're getting frequent BSOD's, etc.

    If you want to give the guys over at Sony a good laugh, try to return it.

    Otherwise, I second the vote to sell it if you're unhappy with the SZ or try to fix the problems you are having.

    freakin' sony support blame my installed software.

    i told them the problem is NVIDIA driver because of nvlddmkm.sys message in BSOD.

    i re-image my HDD lot of time but still BSOD still there and the culprit is Graphic Card.


    guys, anybody where can i post it to sell aside from ebay?

    Wouldn't this sort of thing be covered under warranty?

    If your sure you want to sell it, try craiglist, overstock, maybe a social networking site that has a "buy and sell" page, and of course this forum ;)

    How much are you willing to sell it for?

    There is a buy/sell/trade forum here, although I think any potential buyer would want to be sure the BSOD stuff was worked out first.

    If you're getting these BSOD's even with a freshly restored system, it's got to be something else. I can't see how Sony could blame the software if it happens even with the default fresh installation.

    Look, it's possible you got one with a bad component. It happens. Every manufacturer is going to have a % of failures. If the problem you were having was widespread, it's an epidemic. It seems like (unfortunately) you got a bad egg.

    Make use of the warranty. Send it for repair to sony. Most probably it will come untouched by sony. They will re-image the HD though.
