The best solution out of situations like this is to do as the device tells you to(to format it) but since it doesn't allow you to by not staying on for long enough you have to use the hard reset or format method which requires you to format the device even before it turns on completely.
Follow the instructions below

  1. hard reset the 704 using the button under the battery right hand side;
  2. reformat the unit (but that would of course delete contents).
Just curious, did you try/did a firmware update recently? Additionally, the manual has some details on troubleshooting as well as Archos online support.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

When you first start it it doesn't stay running after second try then it runs

I've seen this happen quite often, my vehicle does the same, ALWAYS take 2 times to start it. Check this, the fuel pressure regulator, and anything connected in the path with it. After it sits awhile, the gas drains back down the line instead of keeping a run level at the engine. The first try at starting, it doesn't have enough fuel at the engine and it has to pump up. The second time is ready to go. The vacuum on the line of the fuel system is being lost somehow. That is just an opinion but, keep in mind. Hope it helps you.

Doesn't want to run no overheating just died while driving it, it made a bunch of pop noises what could be wrong, the timing belt?

There is not enough time or space on this page to list all of the possibilities of what could be wrong. It could be anything from "out of gas" to a totally destroyed engine. The problem needs to be DIAGNOSED. I am very good at what I do, but I am NOT psychic.

Good evening,I have a canon Multifonction MP 510 printer which doesn't work properly on windows 7 64bits.Symptoms are the following.Printer is installed properly (no problem found by windows).Scan...

no idea, really it can not work, bacause your printer driver is not for win 7 64 bit, and maybe you cann not find it, bacause there is no,, you need second operating system with 32 bit. you can install it without formating, as a second operating system. It will be 2 operating system on your pc. And win7 with 64bit will make more problems for you, it is right, it working quick, but have strong problems with drivers.

Reformated used HP recovery disc when I restart it says SW build ID different from ID on recovery media

You have 2 options. You can write to Microsoft or to HP about your Issue & they might be able to help about the ID issue. Best I would suggest you buy the OS. ( Full installation Pack) this way you have nothing to worry.
