BSOD when connecting SD card from trail cam

Hi Axe0,
Yes I unchecked the 'Automatically restart' option.

I thought I could get the errors relisted on the prompt screen.

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.

What size of memory card is it? How is it formatted (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, ?).

I recently learned that Windows doesn't do well with FAT32 devices that are >32GB, so if your trailcam's card was formatted some other way than in a PC that might cause a problem.

Hi Max7
I'm not sure how the card is formatted, used it right out of the box.
Its a 4 GB sd card, the funny thing is I can see the photos and video using my wife's laptop that is win7 home and 64bits.

I have use my sd cards from my nikon camera and it works fine, just now the one from Moultrie. I may have to contact them too.
Thanks,
Mark

Hmmm the card works in the laptop? Have you tried it in your Nikon? And the Nikon's cards read fine in the Lexar but not the Moultrie? I'd check the file formats against each other for grins, but maybe the Moultrie card just needs to be reformatted (FAT32 is what I would use).

I didn't try it in my nikon because the manufacturer said it could lock up the card.

I'll send email to moultrie now and let U know what they say.
Thanks.

I phoned moultrie and they were not very helpful. They said that win7 pro is not compatible with there memory card.

Sorry but IMO this makes no sense. I have trailcams (tho not Moultrie) and AFAIK there is no "mystery format" that any of them use.

Never heard of that before--but I believe it! Seems likely to be your problem; thanks for posting. I have an old reader or two that I will have to check (and discard if necessary)!

Hi All,

So far I have not had the same problem again and can't seem to replicate it either.
I'm going to mark as solved and would like to thank all who had input to my problem.
Keep up the good work on this site!
Regards,
Mark
