Faulty MicroSD Card? or... :S

I have a SCLite with 1.7 firmware and 2.57 software (proper one). Plus a Kingston 512MB MicroSD card. I'm using an MicroSD to SDCard adapter, plus an SDCard to USB reader (2 adapters).

The problem is, I will convert a game with the software using settings outlined in the compatibility list. Then I will put the game on the card. Now I run the game, and sometimes it works, and other times it will load and freeze, freeze part way through, have a noise problem, white screen and such.

So I delete the game from the SD card, re-convert it, and put it back on, and usually on the 2nd or 3rd attempt at this, the game works perfectly.

Now, another thing that happens is I'll be copying a game over, and it'll stop part way through give me some corrupt type error, and then leave the rom on there with what looks like full size. I delete the rom, which then gives me the same error, but it does delete. Then I hit refresh, and the game is back, although it's listed as only 0KB. I try to delete it, and it does now without a problem, but comes back with 0KB again when I refresh.

So I was wondering if this is attributable to a faulty SD card, or if its the brand and I should get a new one (suggestions?). Or maybe its the supercard for the compability issues, and my computer for the copying? I'm not really sure. :S

And on another note, I'm trying to put DSOrganize onto the card, but when I run it it just stalls at the "Please wait... Initializing FAT. Trying: SuperCard SD". The cow just "dances" forever lol. (idk if this is related or not)

Thanks.

Well, Elite Beat Agents I put on, and it white screened on start up. I re did it, and then it froze part on 2 of the songs, so I did it again, and then it worked.

With mario and Luigi: Partners in time, the first time i put it on it froze a little ways through (near the beginning). I put it on again and now it works without a problem.

It's happened with most other games aswell, but those are 2 that I remember
