This is exact model for my sony vaio. I upgraded ram from 4gb to 2× 4gb sticks (8gb). I was told by electronic store agent to use a faster stick (12800) instead of OEM (10600). Now laptop will not completely stay turned on, even when I go back to just the original 4gb OEM stick in original slot. Any help?

It is possible that you shorted out your computer. This tutorial does not explain the importance of removing the battery from the computer AND discharging the remaining power inside of the computer by holding the power button for 30-60s and most importantly, making sure you are wearing an ESD bracelet to a grounded connection. Static electricity most likely shorted the board. I would bring it to a professional.
