First some background info;
I'm running Vista home edition on a Fujitsu FMV Biblo NF/D75 laptop. It's a Japanese computer with Japanese installation. However I changed the UI language to English. After about 18 months of use, the battery stopped charging. We haven't bought a new one and just use the computer plugged into the mains.
Yesterday I used the computer fine, did a windows update and restarted, all OK. Later I set the computer to sleep, and then later on unplugged it and put it away. This morning, I switched it on and I got the familiar configuring updates screen. I thought nothing of it, went and made a cup of tea while it did its thing. When I came back I noticed that it was getting to update 3of3, and the computer would restart. This happens continuously if I let it.
I then pressed F8 and tried safe mode - it didn't work.
I then tried f8 and 'Repair your computer'. It's all in Japanese but I managed to get to a diagnostic screen where I received the following report.
Problem Signature:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairV2
Problem Signature 01: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000
Problem Signature 03: 0
Problem Signature 04: 65537
Problem Signature 05: unknown
Problem Signature 06: NoRootCause
Problem Signature 07: 0
Problem Signature 08: 2
Problem Signature 09: WrpRepair
Problem Signature 10: 10
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
I searched around the internet using this report and followed advice to use the Vista CD to run Startup Repair. I didn't receive the CD with my computer so I downloaded and burnt a Vista recovery CD and ran Startup Repair. Startup Repair couldn't find and problems/solutions. I then tried System Restore. I had not created any System Restore points. (Major oversight on my part, I know).
I then tried the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool. No problems.
I also ran a Fujitsu repair/diagnostic tool, all in Japanese, but it basically checked the CPU, memory, and HDD for errors. No errors reported.
I've read that some of these errors can be fixed by going into the command prompt and changing some files. Unfortunately I couldn't find any such solutions for my particular error code.
I know that exhausting the Startup Repair and System Restore Point solutions gives me few choices, but I really hope I can find a way of fixing the computer without losing any data.
I am utterly grateful for your expert help and advice. Please help!!
