Unfortunately there is no real solution to this problem other than keeping extra batteries to switch out for the dead ones if you are shooting for a while. Here is what your camera's manual has to say about short battery life:

The battery run time is brief. You are using the camera in a cold environment. Battery performance deteriorates in low temperatures. Keep the camera warm by putting it inside your coat or clothing. - The remaining battery power is not indicated correctly. When battery consumption fluctuates considerably, the camera may turn off without displaying the battery

1. Check your power cord & adapter.
2. If its working then check the battery, reseat the battery & check.
3. If available then check with another battery
4. If no, then remove the battery & switch on the PC in AC mode.
5. Check if battery charging indication or AC power on indication is glowing. if not then need to change ur motherboard.
6. If indication is OK, but could not power ON then check ur RAM for any loose connection or dust. clean & reinstall.
7. If still no display, connect an external monitor, check if display is comming.
8. If Display is coming then your LCD need to replace.

you know the fuel pressure regulator could cause your vehicle to shut off after a few sec but then you should be able to start it a few secs later then it will do the same thing..computers can be reset unless they are burnt out..

I have a ViviCam 8400 and have the same problem UNLESS I buy Duracell Power Pix or Energizer Titanium batteries. These cost more than the regular grade AA batteries, but when I used brand new regular batteries, the camera would turn on for 2 seconds then turn right off. Titanium or Power Pix batteries make the camera work fine. And, because they are made for digital media, they do allow you to use the camera for longer periods of time.

Choose your camera from the drop down menu (your camera is there) then choose your language click GO and it will bring you to the page you need to download the driver. Click below the "Driver" name and you will have the option to save or run. You might want to save the file to a flash drive in case you need it in the future. Then run it or just run it from the website.

This should solve your problem
