I think it is related to punkbuster. I have not been able to get any 3rd party FPS monitoring software to work in Bf4 without crashing. I tired Fraps/Afterburner/PrecisionX and they have all crashed it for me. 

The only thing that works for me is HWmonitor in the background plus the "perfoverlay.drawfps 1" command in game. 

Precision X crashes most games for me. I have stopped using it until now just to check voltage on my classified.

Now the fun begins, new windows, new sets of problems...

Precision X does not bug my PC (Just putting it out there). If it does for you, though, use MSI afterburner.

Im currently using the steam version and it updated itself about a week ago and now it crashes several of my games.  Each game it crashes, the crash occours differently but the same each time.  If I exit out of Precision X then my games works fine.  For example, ARMA3 gives me a memory error whereas CS:GO crashes into a 200x50 box in the middle of my screen that is unresponsive.

Dumb question...You had Precision installed on (C:), right? If yes, then I don't know...Precision X is very flakey, and only wants to work when it wants to work. This is going to sound really stupid, also, but maybe Precision X not only needs to be installed on C, but maybe the hdd cable must be plugged into the 1st Sata port. This sounds dumb, but I'm only trying to throw the craziest ideas out in hopes you find something. You're obviously using MSI afterburner, so that's probably the way to go anyway. Possibly the registry? It could be anything to be the solution.
 
Though, I'm going to speculate that I will probably start having issues once I put Windows 10 on due to compatibility issues.
 
 

same issue here.

It's installed to a diffrient drive, but I've had Precision X since January and have never had an issue until I saw the news on the update through EVGA's home page. I assume Steam updated it for me at some point and so it's the new update causing the issue.
I'm not using MSI Afterburner as I don't have a need for it.

It's probably Windows 10 then. If you're willing, remove precision from your computer entirely, and then install Precision on the main hard drive that the operating system is on. See what happens...

I have the latest precision x version and just downloaded the windows 10 that came out today.
 
Battlefield 4 crashes before the game even starts. 
 
As soon as a terminate precision x from running BF4 works just fine.
 
Please show this attention!

Did you disable Origin ingame settings?
 

Afterburner works just fine for me.

I'm still using Windows 7 but I will try to move the software to the C:/ drive.

Do you have any updates, bsmegreg?

The bug in post number 1 is being investigated by EVGA

i`m getting the same problem since win 10.
i decided on a clean install however i found that its affecting a lot of games not just bf4 after removing precision x everything works fine? hopefully new version will sort it out. haven't  tried turning osd off.
getting same problem with previous version of precision x 
 

I'm having most of my games crash also, sucks because this is my first Nvidia card, and the most money i've spent on one.
So far it seems precision crashes games and also chrome on windows 10 64
EVGA 970gtx ssc acx 2.0+
Was reading that the bios had switches to run the fans all the time instead of the 60c tried using diff combo of switches resulting in no 
fan difference. Maybe i'm doing something wrong but if I turn of precision the fans don't turn on at all and temps go to 77c before I turned
precision back on. If anyone knows more about fans in the diff bios settings on 2 switches on and off.
Going to try MSI afterburner, just ticks me off because my Radeon card had zero issues with windows 10 upgrade, and this was suppose to be
an upgrade, if anyone knwos a fix hit me up, really thinking about trading this for the r9 390 now.
