Samuel Dário Falcão Gabriel del Bello, as per http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt-dwnl/VGN-SR19XN/list#os1 an update to your BIOS is available (R0310Y1). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report. As well, you don't have to create a new
bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see

Title:
  System hangs after connecting or disconnecting external monitor

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Each time I connect or disconnect the external monitor my ubuntu
  system will hang and a Hard reboot is necessary. Only way I manage to
  have the external monitor working is to plug it before booting. Which
  gets quite annoying after a while.

  I had the exact same problem already with ubuntu 12.04 and was hoping
  the upgrade of the system to last release 14.04 would solve it.
  Although it did not. I am using  a vaio vgn-sr19xn with Intel Graphics
  Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD. The external monitor is a Samsung Tv.

  In the wiki says it is a known problem, although I was wondering weather there is some fix for this?
  Which info do you need from me?
