Hi Geo
welcome aboard
please download to your destop
blue screen view and run it.
Post the details in your reply.

Then please refer to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc750081.aspx

however it seems that nviddmkm.sys driver is the faulting module

You may try to go to "device management" then uninstall the nVidia driver
reboot
Windows will detect again your graphic card
now go here
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

download the right driver and install it

I hope it helps

I want to add that i tried your idea unistalling the driver from safe mode because i couldn't run normal mode...after unistalling i was able to run normal mode with default monitor but system installed nvdia driver and after reboot i have same problem now so clearly it's display drivers failure. what i have to do now? :/

try to install the new driver you have downloaded from nVidia over your current driver.
The executable should replace the old driver
Then reboot.

another option is to go to Vayo support
http://b2b.sony.com/b2bMicrosites/landingpage/vaio_drivers/download_vaio_drivers.html
and look if they have a un updated driver for your graphic card.

this KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED means " KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

An incorrectly configured device driver usually causes this type of error"

You might also try
Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Guru3D - Driver Sweeper is a fast tool to remove driver leftovers from your system. It's very important to remove your drivers on a proper way, because driver leftovers can cause problems like stability and startup problems. You can use it if you want to update/remove drivers from your system.

How to use ?

There are two methods to use Driver Sweeper.
Both methods achieve the same results. This method is always able to clean all files.

This method will delete remaining files upon reboot (if deleting failed). You can clean your drivers this way:

* Use the official uninstaller(s) of the driver(s) you want to uninstall.
* Reboot your PC in Safe Mode.
* Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean.
* Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected.
* More drivers can be selected for the same cleaning process.

What can it be used for ?
The current supported drivers are NVIDIA (Display and Chipset), ATI (Display), Creative (Sound) Realtek (Sound), Ageia (PhysX) and Microsoft (Mouse).
