HWiNFO crashes on startup during during "Detecting ATA/SCSI Drives"

[chaosmaou]

Debug file attached.

I already tried troubleshooting my drivers, and even found the System crash (BSOD) or disappearing of drives when using ASMedia SATA or USB drivers thread, but no ASMedia drivers were found in device manager.

HWiNFO worked in the past many times, with this version, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

There's something weird with the USB flash disk, it returns some erratic data that confuses HWiNFO. I'm not even able to recognize that disk.
Try to detach it.

Huh, I wouldn't have suspected that. It is a 16GB FAT32 formatted flash drive that I use to store BIOS updates, only had a single file on the drive.

Removing the USB stick from my computer fixed the issue right away. Very strange. It's a cheap ONN brand flash drive from Wal-Mart that probably has some weird formatting.

Thanks for the help, got HWiNFO working again simply by removing it!

I will add a workaround for this case in the next build.
