We had a similar problem yesterday. It happens as soon as we plug in to USB cable to PC. We found that after we left it for some time it did eventualy kick back in to life. We could use it until we plugged in to USB again. Trying to find a solution to the problem right now. You can press and keep hold of volume up button while you turn back on and that kicks in the diagnostic software menu. From there you can find the "Force screen calibration" which we did but it doesnt sort out the problem of plugging in USB

Can't exactly help you, but I'm in the same situation. I got a crack across the middle of the screen on my 43 while it was in my pocket. It seems like this might be a problem with the gen 8 tablets, but Archos is currently refusing to consider it defective.

SOURCE: i reformat my archos 101 tablet,now all the files are gone, when i turn it on alli see is archos a101it recovery ,can you please help. thanks

LOL, ok, Reformat does just that (Delete All Files). Unless you have them backed up someplace outside of the computer, they are history.

Format and Recovery deletes everything. Recovery will set your system back to the time you first purchased it. But your personal files will be gone.

System Restore on the other hand does not delete anything. It allows you to restore your system back to a particular date and time. Your documents, music, pictures, videos, data and programs will not be deleted. You might have to reinstall programs that you installed after the date and time you selected.
