[ESET Smart Security causing false 0x00000124 BSODs?]

Thanks to the folks with the Gigabyte MoBo App Center Products and MoBo's

Hi,
I persisted with fixing this myself from the "Man" knows better than "Machine" standpoint. I took a lesson from Pizzly and Fanstein. Uninstalled the following: ASUS Sabertooth Z87 Apps. -- Removal completed successfully.

AI Suite III, ASUS Product Register Program, ASUS Product Register Program, Asus Fan Control Service, Asus WebStorage Windows Service

I reinstalled ESET 2014 from the CD with the downloaded update that gets Smart Security 8.0.312, AV Signature is 11881 (20150702) 6:15 PM (MST-7)

I am running on ESET 8.0.312, So far all is well.

As far as I can surmise something killed the Win8.1 of making BSOD dumps and also rendered the system incapable of running an ESET startup scan. 11/2014.
The ASUS geo-location of code writers manufacturers with malware are suspect.

Oh Well. Now more scans are needed and I do need the FAN Control back.
Need to find out why dumps did not occur too,

Hi, I have returned and have explored the system and found that no Minidump file were created since 11/2014.

2nd File. I hope this can be attached below.

Hi, I have returned and have explored the system and found that no Minidump file were created since 11/2014. Attempting to determine why.

Boot Drive is SSD settings for BSOD dump are in effect. So I don't have BSOD dump.

 

I do have a DM Log Collector Zip File.

Size=4.2Mb.

 

I have not reinstalled ESET Smart Security 8.

I am running Lastest Updated Windows Defender and MS Firewall and a fully licensed and updated Malwarebytes Premium.

Hi,

Having the same issue with 8.0.312.0 Pre-Release update 1462.

Motherboard is a ASUS Z87 Sabertooth.

All Windows Critical, Important and optional updates installed.

System freezes without a BSOD, but freezes keyboard  and mouse inputs.

No indicators of compromise using multiple scanners, Malwarebytes, TDSKiller, ESET Rescue, etc.

 

Uninstalled ESET and system runs fine.

I am now scanning with Loki for IOC's.

 

I plan to upload a BSOD dump after the loki scan completes.

I will keep you posted.

 

Thanks to all for the help so far.
