Narrative:
While in stabilized cruise flight at FL360 we observed the left idg drive light illuminate followed by an EICAS electronic checklist for left generator drive. We followed the checklist and disconnected the drive. While continuing with the checklist we started the APU as instructed and the APU came up to speed and after approximately 10 seconds the APU indicated a fault and shut down. We contacted dispatch and conducted a conference call with maintenance regarding the problem. All parties agreed to continue to the destination and attempt an additional APU start during the descent into lax.
