I am not sure about using an USB stick for flashing BIOS on a Sony. You might want to look into creating a bootable CD (using Nero utility per example) for flash

and just to let everyone know also i can't get to the bios to make it boot to the disk drive first..

this is what happens i turn it on the lights turn on but thats all..
the screen stays blank nothing on it at all..
i can get to my bios at all the screen stays blank..
everyone say's to re-flash and just to install the right bios..
i have the right bios saved on my p/c and i have nero..
i just don't know what to burn and how to boot it up..
if you can tell me what to do and how to burn it and how to
boot it in my laptop i would really really thank you

i can't get to my bios at all to change anything..
so i can't even change the boot order to boot from the disk first..
so can i use anyother way like a fn+f2 to boot disk first ???

. how did you get it to turn on?
. what OS were you trying to install?
. when did the blue screen come up (at what stage of the installation)?
. the message can be misleading sometimes - try remove/swap/replace the ram module and see
. if the keyboard does not work, how did you start the OS installation?

cheers ...

i swapped the ram with eachother..
and i just turned it on and it said no o/s found..
i put the disk in and then it said checking system..
then right after it said preparing to install thats when it came up
with not ACPI comliant..
right when it was going to start the install on the hard drive..
i swapped the rams so many times i don't know how the went the
first time..
did i do something wrong??
should i get new ram and toss the old ones??
or should i try one at a time??
and dose it matter what side i keep in ??
dose it matter like a main one??
