Help! Hardware mailfunction error! GRT896HP

[d244541]

When I pick up my vaio grt896hp notebook when it's on I get a blue screen with the following message:

HARDWARE MAILFUNCTION
CALL YOUR HARDWARE VENDOR FOR SUPPORT
NMI: PARITY CHECK/MEMORY/PARITY ERROR
***THE SYSTEM HAS HALTED****

And yes, the system has halted.

Another problem which I have is that my screen goes on and off when I move it up or down. Does one or both of the above problems sounds familiar to anyone of you vaio-users?

As its a GRT maybe its the slot that falling out:smileycry:

I susally unplug before doing anything of the sort.

I read the remove-the-battery-tip after I did the job unfortunately , but I didn't really put out and in the RAM. I just pushed it and squeezed it a bit but with a good result It doesn't occur anymore! Remains the other problem of the flickering screen when I push it back- or forward...any help on that? I want to thank everyone who helped me thusfar.

Thats great news :smileygrin:
Now your screen probably needs it's connection checked, not sure how to open that model though.....
