I have a 32 GB SD Card. Whenever I insert this card in to my newly upgraded Windows 8 laptop the OS stops responding normally. Metro Apps won't work. The system may or may not log in. Desktop apps may or may not be able to do things. When I remove the card and restart then all is fine. As soon as I put the card back in, the system starts misbehaving again.

I've run Windows Update, so I have the latest drivers from Microsoft.

This does not occur with the 8 GB cards I have. Unfortunately I only have one 32 GB card, so I can't test with others.

From examining the system event log I've determined this is happening due to a user mode driver failure.

How can I best debug this issue from here? How can I figure out which driver this is related to? Will there be a Dr. Watson crash dump somewhere?

So I tried using Debug View from SysInternals (you can get it here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx).

That gave me this information: debug view screenshot

which is not especially helpful.

Then I tried connecting WinDbg to WUDFHost.exe (the process that seems to host user mode drivers) to see if it could catch the error.

Get it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/hardware/hh852363

Instructions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/hardware/ff554716(v=vs.85).aspx

That didn't help much. It didn't catch any exceptions as I'd hoped (which would point me to the cause of the crash at least). Here's the stack of one of the threads: WinDbg Stack Trace
