EDI now contains garbage because you loaded it from Registers.
You wanted to +point+ it to Registers.
Either	mov	edi, offset Registers
or	lea	edi, Registers

Whereas in the GetCPUID code, Registers is an alias for ECX
so

is really

which is fine.

Likely because that is the signature you have for it elsewhere?
Or because it is a class member (remember +this+)
