maybe you can change it in BIOS, but this should have been entered by Sony, don´t know if you can do it yourself.

Which drivers can´t you install? Go to Intel.com and use the HM65 chipset driver from there, GPU from nvidia.com (mobile GPU NVIDIA® GeForce® 410M), lan driver from realtek, bluetooth/wifi atheros or intel, ..
