    Using a memory card in half height slot causes crash


    After installing 1903 on my Lenovo windows 10 pro laptop, inserting a micro sd card with adapter or booting up same in my half height memory card slot causes a continual crash and reboot. The sd cards do not cause this when used with the 2 usb plug in adapter ports. When installing 1903 I did have a card in the slot and received an error message telling me to remove the card. I did that and then the installation proceeded to completion. I reverted back to 1803, 1809 never would install, and the problem went away. I checked the USB drivers with 1903 and 1803 and they were all updated. When I do a device eject to remove the card it is referred to as an SDXC SCSI disk device. I reinstalled 1903 and the crash issue returned. I like using this slot with a half height micro usb card for extra storage. Am I stuck with 1803 or might there be a driver update or rollback that would solve this issue.

    :)

    6300 Where is memory card slot?

    Ok just to clarify.

    The battery cover DOES need to be removed to access the memory card slot.

    And the USB cap is annoying, took half my nail off trying to get that out once.

    BSOD/crash playing games, memory error on shutdown


    I've had a few more BSODs, however when I went to create the usual dm log, I noticed it say there were no minidumps. My computer did recently update to Fall Creators, and I don't have the 'Disable automatic deletion of memory dumps when disk space is low' ticked, but the drive isn't even half full.

    Anyways, I'm going to try some more troubleshooting steps and wanted to run them by the thread before actually doing them:
    - Re-seat graphics card and memory. Already done today, will be doing a test (aka, normal nightly gaming) to see if it crashes.
    - Move a crash-prone game to third hard drive and unplug current
    - Swap out my 1080 for my old 750TI I still have lying around
    - Buy a single 16GB DDR4 RAM stick and use that in a different slot. Unfortunately my cooler covers one of the memory slots, so I can have a max of 3 sticks. If nothing else, I'm upgrading to 32GB of RAM =P Probably last test b/c it involves spending money
    - Reinstall Windows

    Anyone have a suggested order I should attempt these in? I'm thinking next step is probably either install on third drive and unplug second, or swap graphics cards
