Had a few goofy things happen on my Deadpool Pro
lights not lighting or wrong lights lighting.
Checked connectors all good so I decided to make a new SD Card

I have new Sandisk Ultra Class 10 16GB 80mb/s cards
Laptop is a newer Dell G3 16gb ram i7 so a mid level solid pc built in sd card reader not a usb adapter.

I downloaded the imager from stern pdf. balenaEtcher

Went to burn the image onto the card, as soon as the image is done it goes to check mode then at about 2% crashes my laptop.

Removed card restarted laptop, went to windows explorer and as soon as I insert the card it crashes again.

Clearly Im not going to try the card in the pin,

Anyone run into this?

Im going to try one more time with another new card but wanted to post before my PC melts down...

2nd card same issue.

Thanks ill look at that. tough part is when pc is up and running if I go to file explorer and then insert the SD card that was etched it will crash.
it will also freeze when on home screen no open applications, if I insert failed etch cards.

I think I'm out of cards. I'll get more and try again.

I'll try on my work pc too

ordered 4 new cards.

I'm on widows 10 with 64bit

I will get an adapter to do it from a tablet.

I think my discoball mod was causing issues, unplugged that and seems good so far, but still need to figure out why I cant etch cards.

No, out of fresh cards, as soon as I put one of the 2 I tried to image, into my laptop it freezes.

Waiting for UPS should have adapter today

Back at it, I was able to look at the cards using USB adapter, looks like it made 5 partitions on each sd card.
I tried to remove partitions but lost all space on the cards, oh well, 4 new ones here. Currently imaging the first one with win32diskimager.
I will report back.

Same thing
Now trying to etch it with the usb adapter not the slot in pc

im not comfortable (dont trust myself) doing that on a command prompt,
I have a SSD and HDD in my laptop along with a few factory partitions and I just dont want to screw that up.
Going to format the cards again then might be looking for one of you to mail cards to along with some sort of compensation.

Thanks to all for helping out here, Im a nuts and bolts guy not a computer expert.

Thanks. I'll email you later if my last attempt fails. I don't give up easily but 4 of 4 cards with issues. Its me not the equipment.
