Pichlo's assessment is sound and well documented here concerning dead or nearly dead batteries.
Although after reading...that your n810 was caught in a looping reboot...
I figured it wasn't about it being a dead batt issue.
Battery consumption is bad with every restart...losing a good chunk of time from your battery.
Hence you wouldn't be caught in a reboot loop on a n810 for very long...if indeed it were a dead or nearly ..battery.
It appeared more like the system needed a fresh clean and set up.

If the problems persisted after doing or attempting to do a proper reflash...then we would have to track down the culprit issue(s)

you can play with 3.5 or the 770 (although I do not suggest or advise in any way utilizing a method or tools not documented or meant for your specific device)
otherwise the nokia tablet update wizard works on x64 (just have to do it properly)
I would suggest either linux (a compatible and easy...32bit buntu or debian 32bit) or win xp or 7 (32bit is preferable ..but basic functional need should suffice if using 64bit) for as problem free a solution to the pc end of "what distro should I use?" topic..

As I have mentioned...
and I don't mind reiterating
For those who are new to the devices or those who have forgotten...
even I forget...
the walkthrough and the durability of these devices attest to the fact that you can let them sit for years without maintaining them ...
and they still work...
marvelous..
.but yeah...as a consequence I HAD to do the walkthroughs and videos...
if not for everyone here with a n8x0 .....
then at least for myself!
While I could remember! ...
since given enough time without doing the process...
I'd be in the same boat as everyone else!
screamin' "How the Hell do I fix _ _ _ _?!?!?"
"I can't remember!!!"

And over the years you would not believe how many times I forgot how to do the process..either in smaller or greater part...
only to go through countless pages here at tmo to remember how to do it all over again..

Got sick of that...
So the last time it happened (that I forgot how to tie my own maemoan shoelaces ..) ...
I vowed that WHILE I was doing the complete process I would document it, write it down as I went, step by step...
everything needed to make the n8x0 perfectly set up at it's optimum performance...
the easiest and simplest way possible ...
with the least hassle, confusion or complication...
in other words...
make it beginner friendly
(as in "a rutabaga on life support could do it" friendly)...
and make a video tutorial.
Now I refer to the past genius of myself ...
since braintardation has set in and I'm getting lazy
The walkthrough makes it so easy....inevitably it becomes a thoughtless, mindless automaton process and voila!
you are done!
That is how easy and familiar new people will become with the process...
So thank goodness there is the walkthrough.
And as well...curse you walkthrough!
The walkthrough is so easy...it is easy to forget...
hence the walkthrough is pretty important!

So yeah...the walkthrough isn't there for just new people..
.it is there for me too.
