BSOD when connecting SD card from trail cam

Hi W7 forum people,

Here is my story,
I was connecting my sd card from new trail camera and the disk would now connect or at least the explorer would not recognize it. I use a Lexar card reader. I tried to restart computer but it just got stuck with the timer wheel circling. The computer would not shut down after several minutes so I decided to hold the power button down.

When it restarted I got the BSOD, but didn't catch the code, only that it was shutting off to prevent damage to computer components. I trying a couples times to restart but there was no bios or anything, just a blank screen at this point. I didn't know if the whole computer failed or what. I put this computer together with the support of a friend. I decided to use my startup repair software, I did a restore. Everything checked out successful and all error codes shown were 0x0. I shut down computer again to connect the remaining devices.

I would like to know what to do now since I checked and ran Startup Repair software? Is there some log file to check to see why I got the BSOD. If so, where might it be located? I also use or installed XP mode, not sure if that matters.

Thank you for your help.

You can probably find it in the Event Viewer. (What information appears in event logs.)
At Windows 7 start menu type in event viewer and execute. Or like it says in link above.

Hello Baddog22556,
Thanks for pointing me to the EV.
The windows system logs show several warnings on Dec 24 related to wpad.gateway.mts.net timed out, NtpClient was unable to set a manual peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error.

On the 26th there were a few errors such as Service Control Manager 7023 None "The Intel(R) HD Graphics Control Panel Service service terminated with the following error: %%-2147467259" & The Garmin Core Update Service service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

And one Critical Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power 41 (63) The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
Probably me shutting down.

I dont see anything that is really bad but I dont have any experience here.

What do you think?

Hi ,
Well what I got was blue screen with text on and the computer said some thing about shutting down as to not damage components or something like that.
I was unable to make note of it and then it was gone.

If you said maybe it wasn't , thats ok too as I have no experience in this area.
What file did you find your info in?

regards Mark

Hi,
I set up as you suggested and set the area under "Write debugging info" to Small memory dump.
Is that ok? as the link had a number of selections.

Also, would it also be a good idea to set up Elevated Command Prompt Shortcut?

regards Mark.
