I would boot it into safe mode but nothing comes up thank you though for helping .

Did you make/receive a recovery disk?

What happens if you press and hold f8 while booting?

Did you create a set of 'restore disks' at any point since you bought it? Replacing a hard drive is quite inexpensive and doable....maybe £40-£50 and a bit of time...but that is for the techie guys if needed.

Turn the power off, and then press the "Assist" button. That should boot into a recovery area which you can use to reinstall the OS/run system restore, and should also allow you to test the hardware. If nothing comes up when you turn it on with the Assist button, then you may well have a hardware fault

Sony Vaios have an assist button usually top right corner of the keyboard alongside a web button.

While the laptop is off press the assist button, it will boot into diagnostics where you can run a hard drive test, it also has the recovery partition/software and where you go to do a factory restore. Try the test first, if it passes run the restore.
