Question:
July 26th VAIO SZ140 Bios Update
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu...d=2249&os_id=7
Looks like Sony released a BIOS update for the SZ's yesterday.
This utility updates the BIOS to version R0083N0 and resolves the following issues:
* The CPU workload reported in the Windows Task Manager is inaccurate.
* System stops responding when external drive boot is enabled
* TPM (Trusted Platform Module) errors occur when recovering from a forced shutdown
* Boot order display looks abnormal
* LCD noise distortion
* Unstable system when resuming from suspend
* CPU Control becoming unstable
* I/O (Input/Output) conflicts with some devices
* BIOS security issue where certain keys are not recognized when using a BIOS password
Anybody experience any of these problems that are now fixed with the update?

Haven't had any issues with my SZ.
Wonder if this BIOS revision has any updates to the Micro-code for CPUs. (Better support for Merom)
