I have been running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit RTM happily for a few weeks now. All of a sudden my mmachine freaked out. I have an older USB flash memory card reader mounted in a 3.5" bay in the front of my computer. I have had no problems with it conected previously. The other day I needed to put some files on an SDHC card. The aforementioned reader isn't compatible with SDHC so I plugged in a second card reader, a newer external one that supports SDHC. As soon as I plugged it in, BANG! BSOD.
I was running Vista 32-bit prior to 7 with the exact same system configuration except that I added two more gigs of the exact same RAM when upgrading to 7. Both card readers worked fine under Vista no matter whether the were both connected at the same time or not.
Now if I try to start my computer with either one of the two card readers I get the same blue screen while Windows is loading. If I plug either of the card readers in While Windows is running it crashes with the same blue screen.
I am now stuck without the ability to read any flash cards. What really baffles me is that I could understand if Windows 7 didn't like the newer card reader for whatever reason but why won't things work with just the orginal card reader hooked up that I had in the first place when everything was fine before.
What could possibly be going wrong?
The stop message from the blue scren is:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x0000000a (0x0000000000000138, 0x000000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF80002C27DCC)
