Hi all

Have a Fujitsu amilo 7400 which refused to boot up with power cord. Boots ok with battery first time but have to remove it then replace. Once XP home is running can plug power cord in.

Decided to reinstall xp home from recovery disk but install hangs or shuts down system at at 35 mins when installing devices appears and gets half way.

I then tried removing hd and connecting to desktop where I installed dos 7.1 and the I386 folder from the recovery disk. Set up ran but got stuck at 34 mins and Hung or shutdown system again at installing devices.
I'm thinking battery problem and refusal to install xp are linked. Have flashed BIOS but no change.

Can anyone help.
Thanks.
 
Right the bios i used was B2I-S0J.WPH

Is there any other that might solve my problem?

I took the log of the install using setupapi and these are the last bits of the log when it hangs

#-166 Device install function: DIF_SELECTBESTCOMPATDRV.
#I063 Selected driver installs from section [Processor_Inst] in "c:\windows\inf\cpu.inf".

Does anyone know what my problem is???? Please!
 
seems fujitsu siemens has this kind of problem, freezes and stop working. sometimes switch of by itself and refused to switch on again. removing the battery just a temporary solution, sometimes it would work without the battery plug in.
