I've gone through about 3 SD card's of mine the past two weeks, I don't know what happened to them, I try to use them and my phone starts popping up "Black SD card" and offers to format it on the phone, so I do, then it's "removed SD card" message, and I'm unable to unmount it again until I reboot, then it just re-sets to Blank SD card and starts all over again.

I tried formatting it under Windows and Linux, neither are unable to format the card. Gives me errors: "The device is write protected", or "Windows was unable to complete the format", it's a 32GB PNY Micro-SD card and adapter. I unlocked the little switch on the side of the adapter so it'll format, but nothing change, same error messages. It's a brand new card, and this same thing has happened to 2 of my other cards.

Anyone know how I can fix it so I can at least use it again?

I have had luck with this program in the past. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

Hope it helps!

Is that the whole message?

I found one that said Driver Power State Failure. Found this

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE 0x0000009f - Microsoft Community

Do you think that is what is going on with your pc?
