I have a Gigabyte motherboard and have the Gigabyte app center installed (but not running).

I have had exactly the same problem today - BSOD 0x124 using Smart Security 8 on Win 7 x64. I've spent the past 6 hours troubleshooting it. Because that error is usually down to a random hardware fault, I've spent all day swapping out components trying to work out what it was, but nothing had any effect.
Then I got to thinking; the crash happened within a second of the desktop appearing, but I was able to use safe mode just fine. So, logic lead me to conclude that it was a service that was trying to start during normal startup. After disabling all of my services and re-enabling them all one-by-one, I found the culprit to be the ESET service.
Uninstalling Smart Security completely (using the ESET Uninstaller tool) allowed me to launch back into normal windows without BSOD. I tried to reinstall Smart Security, but I got another BSOD as soon as I rebooted. I'm at a loss as to what to do now.
ESET Smart Security causing false 0x00000124 BSODs?

I just removed the Gigabyte App Center and reinstalled Smart Security 8 and it all seems to be working fine now. Why would this issue suddenly appear though? The Gigabye App Center has been on my system for 9 months, and I haven't updated it since I installed it, so for it to suddenly cause an issue is very odd.
