    Make sure you have the correct firmware for your card.

    ^He would of if it had been working for a week/s. What do you mean, did it actually display the "fake" message? You haven't mentioned it in your post, but you did say it was freezing.

    If so, backup and reformat your MicroSD.

    ^ Well, I thought that he meant his screen actually said "This Card Is Fake". But I've never heard of that before in any of these threads, so I thought maybe he had loaded a new firmware, and maybe chose the wrong one.

    When it worked before, where did you get the firmware? Did it follow with the cart?

    Reinstall the firmware correct for your R4 card (if it's a different kind) from http://www.linfoxdomain.com/ds/.
