Yep, Confirmed. my PrecisionX16 5.2.3 is causing some kind of video freezing issue. When running and up on 1st or 2nd monitor, and a fan curve active, I ran GPU-Z Render test (to get the card working) during this test after 10-30secs of moving the window of GPU-Z around, artifacting and trailing start happening until it froze the entire screen after moving window around. This same thing I guess is happening inside Dota 2 from Steam, after a few seconds of moving mouse over the top tabs in-game (play, watch, store) everything stopped and froze, sounds still heard in background. When PrecisionX16 is closed, the entire issue is gone. This + nvidia driver rollbacks of 5 different versions leave me to believe it is indeed PrecisionX16 5.2.3 causing this freezing issue. 
 
Now weather im the only one or not i have no clue but this is happening to me and you guys should know about it :) i want to help, I guess I will report in a thread over at Software forums for this directly to see if any other people have this problem.
 
 
 
as a recap for bug-reporting: 
 
5.2.3 precision x is freezing my Dota 2, and any windows that I drag on screen
seems to be a video bug causing windows to trail and eventually freeze the screen
sounds can be heard in background
fullscreen BLUE screens appear when alt-tabbing (not BSOD just a blue screen) this is rarer and happened only about 3 times so far
watching video from VLC/Windows Media Player also showed trailing and freezes
happens on 5.2.0
does NOT happen on older Precision X 4.2.1
 
precision closed = no issues at all

Repost from own thread TY for this one!

the new PrecisionX 16 5.2.3 is out so let's help the developers by posting all the issues together in this thread.
 
so far: 
- freezing games or application windows such as VLC/Windows Media Player
- K-Boost still not working with SLI
- OSD not showing up or crashing the games

Pretty much the same problems as this although I haven't tested k-boost at all.

Windows 7 64bit, gtx 980, driver 344.16

At restart of comp 2 server osd windows pop up in the tray still .
When you get a crash due to not having the game osd exe file on the server it  reverts back to default settings.
 

KBOOST still not working properly. If I enable KBOOST and turn on SLi, it automatically disables it. If I try to turn it on, while in SLi, nothing happens.

Apologies for posting this feature request in this bug thread but it appears to be the best place to mention this.
 
I wish to make a feature request for future versions of EVGA Precision 16 (or later) concerning the OSD feature.
 
I am using 2 user accounts on my Windows 8.1 64 bit PC, one account has admin privileges while the other has standard user privileges.
 
I use the standard account for day to day use. If I open Precision 16 (5.2.3) with this I need to provide my admin password (using UAC), Precision then opens. However if I play a game in this user account, the OSD will not appear (I realize this is because Precision is running with admin privileges and is disconnected from a process (the game) running as a standard user).
 
With the older version of Precision 4.2.1 I could view the OSD while playing games in the standard user account (even though RTSS.exe ran with admin privileges). Would it be possible to start/spawn another (child) process with standard privileges to enable the display of the OSD within a standard user account (to play games)? The workaround I am currently using is to switch to the admin account and play games with Precision running in that user account. Playing the games using the admin account, the OSD appears as expected (even though the game is not running with admin privileges).
 
It would be fantastic if this feature could be implemented (although I realize the above use case is very rare). Thanks for your time.
 
 
Edit: 27th November 2014: This feature has been implemented and works in version 5.2.6. Many thanks for this!

This is a known issue which EVGA's team is working on.

Be smart and uninstall this new garbage tuner its a perfect example of bad programmers at work. Download the legacy version 4.2.1 and then install rivatuner 6.2(by unwinder) for the 64 bit OSD. Problem solved.

I still cannot get "Small Font" to work correctly in the "OSD 2/2" menu.
"Small Font" erroneously acts the same as "Medium Font", on my Logitech G15 v2 keyboard.
 
Can you please finally fix this issue?
 
Thanks,
Jacob

Please please PLEASE fix the "Font Size Keyboard LCD" setting for "Small Font"!
It is not working on my Logitech G15 v2 keyboard. It ends up using the same font size as "Medium Font". :(
 
I found C:\Program Files (x86)\EVGA\PrecisionX 16\Profiles\EVGAPrecision.cfg
I see where you are setting FontSizeKeyboardLCD value correctly to 0:
<add key="/Settings/FontSizeKeyboardLCD" value="0"/>
... I see that it is correctly being read as 0, and written as 0.
... But I cannot determine why it has no effect!
 
Please look at your code, and fix it! Are you passing that value correctly to the Logitech LCD applet launcher?

Still no OSD and it still creates problems for the games I play, like Divinity - Original Sin. It makes my cursor in Divinity either disappear after ALT+TAB or simply not work. Normally, arrow cursor changes to hand symbols when you point it at something that can be picked up, but Precision X 16 prevents arrow cursor from changing to anything else. Back to 4.2.1.
 
This is so horrible! I mean even if the new update fixes some bugs, a ton of them will still be there and Precision X is NOT going to become an option for anyone who values stability. It is in ALPHA stage or BETA stage at best. EVGA should've stuck with RivaTuner instead of stealing bits of code and trying to call it their own, while unable to actually get them to work like they should. Its shameful. Precision X 16 SHOULD BE TAKEN DOWN until it gets much better. Its not a stable product.

EVGA PrecisionX 16 is causing Skyrim to crash on launch. I have a modded game, but it doesn't crash when I remove all the mods. I spent a lot of time modding the game, and I'd like to play it that way. I'm currently running windows 8.1 64-bit.

The F5 key bug is caused by Precision X permanently binding that key to taking a screenshot, as I indicated 4 posts up. In addition to being highly annoying, this bug also made me waste a gig of my backup space, since File History was monitoring the folder it was saving screenshots to.
 
Please fix this bug, eVGA.

Precision OSD server does not work well with executables that have spaces in the file name.
 
Steps to reproduce
1) Add an executable with a space in the name to the OSD server exclude list. (Example Diablo III.exe)
2) Restart Precision so that it has to reparse the exclude list.
3) Open OSD server.
 
Actual Results
Diablo III.exe is split into two entries, diablo and iii.exe, since the server exclude list uses spaces as delimiters.
 
Expected results
There should be only 1 entry in the list
diablo iii.exe

My fonts are now normal suddenly in Google Chrome and in Explorer.

Just found this bug report thread so I thought i'd try to help by linking to my bug thread I posted last week...
 
*Edit* can't post links for some reason your forum is wipeing them out, even to your own site! Sorry, you will have to find it your selves :/  Its called *Bug Report* EVGA Precision X 16 v5.2.7.0 causing graphics corruptions
