    Just restarts randomly, before i reformatted it would crash during video/audio files. The screen would look like paper burning or somthing all mangled then reboot. But when im not using video/audio its just a normal reboot. Its quite new, it was restarting on its own alot when we first got it. Some help would be much appreciated.

    Sounds like video card trouble. First off, figure out if it's hardware or software related. I.e., did you install anything new that could affect video (DirectX, and video codecs, windows updates, "official" drivers instead of branded Sony ones, etc., ).

    If that doesn't turn up anything, it could be hardwar related. What model is it? If it's within the warranty I'd bring it back to where you got and get a replacement.
