I just spent whoopers of cash on a evga system, Motherboard Classified, 2 x 1080 Classifieds, EVGA case, Power Supply... ect....  and when "all is said and installed " one of the first programs i tried to use was Precision XOC latest after lastest version on a windows 10 pro system. and the same result.... run as administrator, to install and run,  program shows up for fifteen seconds and crashes,  I do not get IT???  I have spent years dealing with EVGA and never a problem as such.  rant over
What am I missing....  results from this forum say i should run a competitors software my multi thousand dollar hardware... what am i missing?
Point me a direction.
 
I've installed and uninstalled
Multiple Drivers and precision x installs
updated win10
Thanks in advance for a direction

These issues have been going on since windows 7. I know this because when I first tried Precision X like 3 years ago I was on windows 7. MSI Afterburner has not let me down since.

Well all I can say is have installed this software since 2012 on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008R2, Windows Server 2012R2 and yet had an issue installing and using EVGA Precision Software. 
This is on Dell Servers, Workstations, Desktop, ASUS Motherboards, MSI Motherboards, EVGA Motherboards all running Intel Processors.
Being that you also had issues on Windows 7 maybe your OS Install is missing something or you are forgetting to do something.
Not say that this is your issue only pointing it out as that it could be part of your issue.
 

I have a few Hall of Fame over on *Sorry Never was big on K-Boost you can see my scores listed under bcavnaugh
Same user name here as well http://www.modsrigs.com/topRating.aspx You can do a Search on my rigs here Link 
I am also not an Extreme Gamer or at Benchmarking I doing it for the fun mostly.
I have used MSI AB and ASUS Overclocking tool as well and did not care to use them, even though they may be better than what EVGA has to offer.
The reason I posted what I did is because their are 4 of 5 Threads the provide the answers to what the OP is asking about and you as well. Their are also ones for EVGA's other tools that have fixes posted in the Threads.
Best of luck getting the tools that you need working and if it MSI AB that is fine as we do have a lot of MSI AB users here as well.

 Yes, you do.  In fact, it appears that they had to enlarge the Hall just for you.

I am not sure what that has to do with the stability of precision X. Some get lucky, many do not. The last time I had run precision X (when I first got this GTX 980) my system ran great for a while until I tried OCing for this game I had. It crashed my whole system immediately, so upon the advice of others I went to Afterburner, and had no problems with stability after that.

Thanks for replies... guess i'll go to the dark side until a solid compatible version can be used with win10. I've always used Precision x with all my systems ( including win10 systems ), so i guess to my surprise the issues i was having with such a trusted product.  Thanks again

Are you OCing any? There is no real need for software like this if you are not OCing the card any. 

Thanks trilegdog

No overclocking yet  but as my OP stated i am running 2x1080 classifieds,  that are SLI'd and the temperature difference between both cards is almost forty Celsius apart because of the non- existent spacing between cards ( poorly designed motherboard situation, classified. )  Adding the fact these cards put out the heat... almost to over whelming for them so close and no water cooling solution on the horizon.  I did for kicks bump up overclock on my cpu to 4.6 which was stable but had to watch the temps on the cards, meaning i couldnt finish playing even thirty minutes of gaming as i watched the temps get into i feel dangerous ranges of almost 85 to 90 Celsius with fans running at 100 percent full no automatic but gaming was beautiful to play.  Thanks for replies
Steve

Dose precision work if you set your cpu clocks to stock?

sluihn
Precision does not work at all... it is installed and run as an administrator turns on and ten seconds later errors out.  I tried older version seem to work for a while. Newer version did not work on completely fresh install of windows 7 or after upgrade to win 10 
I dl'd Afterburner and it seems to be working meaning I use it to control temperature and not worry with how much graphical power it outputs, but as i am seeing right now running game... its not conforming like precision xoc does.  Hence the overkill of components to achieve results i'm looking for. 
Thanks again for ideas
Steve

What do you mean exactly by "its not conforming like precision xoc does"?
 
I am not sure which classified MB you have but everyone I looked at has more than two PCIe slots. From what I have seen on the EVGA classified boards the first card goes in the 1st slot and the second goes in either the last slot or the second to last slot. If your setup is like that and you are still getting high temps then you may need to think about possibly adding some fans to blow towards your two cards, alternatively I have heard of others leaving the side of their case open with a floor or desk fan blowing right into the case. The final option is of course going for water cooling. 
 
I am still on my GTX 980 and I am now waiting on the 1080Ti's with water blocks, once they are in I will compare prices and performance to the normal 1080's and decide which card is best for me.
 
I am not sure what results you are looking to achieve but with the temps you are getting and pushing them to run hard until they crash, you may be getting the burnt out graphics card achievement soon....

Well .... That didnt last. So i reinstalled SLI bridge and then reconfigured to run in SLI mode and everyything was working , so i restarted and boom program crashes... so there is the disconnect
The bridge addon to the video cards causing me these headaches.  Hope this helps and cant wait for a fix.  Running latest win10 2x Classified 1080's latest nvidia drivers
 
edit  I cast blame on the SLI bridge but i wrong.... with the SLI bridge installed and Nvidia software not configured for sli the PXOC seems to work great... really helped with temps  but not SLI
