Hello and Welcome to the EVGA Forums 
Let re install EVGA Precision X again!! You need to close EVGA Precision X and check make sure RTSS is close after Precision shut down then run uninstall then it will ask you to save profile so don't save profiles! Complete remove Precision please do restart Window!
After restart Windows please check any left over EVGA Precision X in Windows Program Files if still there  then you need delete by manual  and then do run CCleaner select both Cleaner and Registry! Now let try install lastest Version EVGA Precision X to run test!!
Let us know how getting on? 

Yup;  Recommended steps fix nothing...Still happens.  It's not an issue on my end.

It only happens when it is running. When I don't have it running, the computer does not do this.

How do you know it's Precision that is crashing?

(Sentence deleted for being off topic/Trolling)
 
Obviously because I didnt just drop in here right when I experienced the problem.  I work IT, I tried a bunch of different troubleshooting steps before coming here. 
 
The issue only happens when Precision X is running, and Windows CLEARLY gives the "Precision X has crashed or stopped working" popup for Windows Error Reporting before the PC becomes unresponsive. 
 
Nvidia has updated the drivers several times through both GPU's that I've had, so this is the only conclusion, as it's only Precision X that crashes.  If I dont run Precision X, the PC up and runs no problem until I personally decide to restart...If I run Precision X for monitoring/etc, it cant run for more than 48 hours without Precision X causing a crash.

You sound just like a typical IT worker. Just because you work in IT doesn't make you better then anyone else. Get over it. Great way to respond to someone that's just trying to help though, it will get you far. Wait no it won't.
 
Oh and for the record, it is a problem on your end. I know someone who I would have pointed in your direction had you not just responded like the way you just did.

Oh man, coming from a grown man who thinks he's a "Furry"... I'll try and be kind.

I'm pretty sure I never said "I'm better than everyone else".  I simply pointed out that his reply was very pointless.  It's like calling your ISP and telling them your Internet is not working and you've already reset the modem, and their first method of troubleshooting they offer is: "Why dont we try and reset the modem."  (Of course, after an hour of wasting your time, they actually do some work and it turns out there's an outage in your area...)

   - IE they follow a script to help, because they want to apply as little effort as possible, and still get credit for finding a solution.
 
The crash is also not just a problem on my end, because it happens on two PC's I own; Different GPU's.  I've also gone through 3 driver updates on both, same error still happens.  It also apparently happens to at least one other person who posted in this thread. 
 
Coming in here saying "I know the answer, but I'm not telling you because you're mean." is also a wasted reply, Why dont you go play internet hero elsewhere?  If acquiring your help requires that I make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside, then consider it not wanted, maybe you should also consider filling out a hurt feelings report with your local police station.
 
Stop reaching for what isnt there;  Me stating I work in IT should only indicate that I've tried the basic, most obvious troubleshooting steps but the problem still exists; I didnt just experience a problem and wander in to find the solution without trying to resolve it on my own.  The first response was "have you tried reinstalling", and obviously I've tried that, and a number of other things.
 
The second response was "how do you know this is the problem" ...That's equivalent to just trying to get a +1 to your post count as far as I'm concerned.
I just wanted to know if there is a known issue that's been causing the crashes.  Obviously if there was, there would be more information on it.  But I guess there's not, since people are still giving "Scripted solution answers".  Thanks for not being helpful, have a wonderful day.
 
 

Why not try MSI Afterburner and see if it improves. Completely uninstall P-X first.

Try following my instructions in post #5 from this thread  >>  http://forums.evga.com/Precision-X-Showing-Power-Loss-Mid-Game-m2182434.aspx
 

I'm having the same issue.
My card is a GTX 970 and sometimes the screen will just go black. On my second screen however precision x is still running and showing that the card is running at around 500 MHz.
Sometimes everything crashes though, both screens go black and the sound freezes.
Rarely the screen won't even go black but both the GPU clock and the memory clock are reduced massively, resulting in terrible performance.
Of course, this only happens when precision x is running.
I now tried reinstalling (of course making sure everything was cleared when I did and rebooting before the install) and it didn't help. Not the slightest bit.
 
Update/Fix(?): The issue might be caused by the power limit. I haven't done any long-term testing yet, but after switching the priority to temperature my power consumtion has gone up to ~115%, at which point the gpu would have been powered down already with priority on power limit (max. 112%).
 
Yet another update: After testing: The above does help, crashes have been happening less often. However, they still do appear.

@ipkha
Yeah, my card was clocked too high, although at most times no signs or graphical bugs would appear. Anyways, I took care of that now.
However, even the GPU crashing shouldn't cause the whole PC to freeze, so I think there's another problem with the program. I'm now trying with internet connection disabled for both the precision x and server .exes, as well as renamed server .exes, since features like this have been causing trouble with different software for other stuff (e.g. Adobe Premiere).
 
And I just wanna note here that this thread is kinda weird, discussing various topics and various program-related issues. So a special thanks to You for even reading and replying to this thread.

I think  figured it out now, it was all an unstable overclock. (Also, I'm not even using a custom fan profile.) And yeah, the driver did crash a few times and got repaired, so when my machine freezed it was probably cause windows was unable to fix the driver crashing. So thank you, you fixed my problems with the most obvious solution (that I was unable to find myself...  <-me).
I think it's alarming though that you can clock your card too high and still see no graphical bugs until suddenly it just crashes. Or maybe I'm just getting confused because I'm usually not much of an overclocker.
Anyways, thank You for Your help!
