Just got a laptop yesterday, a sony vaio the cw series and I plugged it in today got it started and all, and, after using it for about 3 hrs the screen went dark and it made this buzzing noise until I shut the computer off. The thing is the same thing happened last semester, also with a brand new laptop, which I exchanged for store credit. I used that to buy my new laptop. Now that this happened AGAIN I thought I might be doing something wrong, or I just have the worst luck in the entire world with technology. But my aunt called me and asked if I had something called a power surge b/c not having one could be the problem. But I no one I know uses one so I don’t think that’s the problem? I’m convinced its something I am doing but just thought I’d ask if anyone has one, also, I live in kinsolving if that means anything…
