Is this a new card?



Or is it an existing card that you have used before with this computer? If so, did you unmount it properly the last time used it (i.e. did not just yank it out without first unmounting/ejecting it)? Have you always unmounted/ejected it properly?

Trying it with another computer will tell us if it appears to be a problem with the card or not. If it does not work on another computer, then the card might be toast...they do go bad on occasion. If it does work on another computer, then that tells us it might have some sort of problem with your computer...that is usually a sign that it was not properly removed from the computer, but you said that you always use the Remove Hardware method, which means it should be fine.
