Hello there,
Have a Sony Vaio, not all that new but, until last week, showing no obvious signs of ageing. While trying to boot, got the Operating System Not Found message. Went into Bios, and while not exactly knowing what I was doing, seemed to stumble into a solution.
However, it has on several occasions, just shut down without warning, with a message, Windows has detected a problem and is closing down to avoid damage, flashing up. Then the Operating System Not Found returns. I don't know if there is a deeper problem here or what is going on. At the same time, have an issue with lots of pop-up ads and AVG detecting a high number of threats, so maybe have picked up a virus which is causing this or adding to it.
Any advice or help greatly appreciated, thanks, John
