I would like some help to allow this option or another alternative so I can install Windows 8. I tried checking with Windows Sysinternals tool Coreinfo if NX was enabled in my computer and, as you can see in the image I include, it is not(the "*" means the feature is currently enabled). My motherboard is ASUSTeK PTGD2-VX, and this BIOS version does not have any configuration that enables NX. My current BIOS version is American Megatrends 2003. This is modified in the bios, generally under the "safety" section. The feature allows the CPU to help guard the system from attacks by malicious software. The VAIO Update utility helps you keep your VAIO® computer up to date by regularly checking the Sony eSupport Web site for important software updates and information for your specific VAIO computer model. Hello, please, do you know what BIOS chip is in the SONY Vaio VPCCW2S1E (Bios: American Megatrends R0110Y7) Henk 2.Aug.

No-eXecute (NX) is a processor feature that allows marking of memory pages as non-executable. This feature needs to be enabled to install Windows 8.
