For XP...
Under start / control panel / system / hardware / device manager...
Click on the + next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
Right click on any USB Root Hub, click Properties
Power management tab
uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
OK.
Repeat for other USB Hubs
Did that work?

Could it possibly be an overheating fault with the Sony? If the same external hardware is being used ok on another laptop I would then try to install some monitoring programs on the sony to see exactly what is happening when the problem occurs.
There is a USB sniffer program at http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/ not sure if thats what you need though.
Does your software include tools to check the heat levels of the laptop. I havent had to research anything like that. Just putting out some ideas. Good luck.
