Everyone who's worrying. There appears to be no good or bad factories. The more information I get, the more it looks like an issue with the hardware used not the process. You could have a card with a really low sequence that works fine and will never have this issue. It does seem the after somewhere between 03500 and 05000 (SNS) is where the issue was fixed fully. I have to update the original post.
 
Also, I wonder if this is a fix and that EVGA don't want to over publicize the issue?

A free power link to go onto all 10 series cards that they will ship even if you bought it already. Seems cool but they must really want people to have it if they will give it away for free after purchase. Maybe it prevents this issue from occuring?

And just then played Alien Isolation for half an hour at 4k resolution and it was fine, first time it crashed after 5 minutes. I'm new to the problem I'm assuming it's hard to pin down what causes and when and even then it happens some time with a game and then its OK for a while and reoccurs without warning.

Request a New retail card from EVGA, so far with all the new shipments if living in the States, all have been working fine

No just RMA it, hardware problem. the powerlink is just a cable reroute option which does look cool. 

When you guys get the black screen issue. Is it writing to logs? When I checked event viewer nothing in there.

Yes, I find that very odd. I'm confused by EVGA. The people on the phone are friendly, the forum staff are friendly, the support sounds promising, and this promotion is welcomed... but the way EVGA has dealt with this issue takes away a lot of the company's reputation. I've just ordered a new EVGA PSU for my 24 bay home server, though I'm a little hesitant to install it.

1080 Classified here.
It is involved in the problem?
How can I know that?
Thanks for the help

Classified is not affected by this, if you are seeing a similar issue it is unrelated, please give us a call at 888-880-3842 so we can look into it.

Earlier in the thread you said 1080 FTW cards sold after a certain date had revised hardware to correct the problem. Has the 1070 FTW received the same hardware revisions? I see I am not the only one to have complained about crashing with the 1070 FTW and it is advertised as having the same power delivery system as the 1080 FTW.

I RMA'd my card, got a new one a week later, has been running amazingly well since. Hasn't crashed yet. 

Picking up my first Hybrid today. In Sweden, uncertain of the production date on the cards (already asked them). Lets be hopeful guys.

So far my RMA card is not having the black screen (yet?). It's overclocking quite wonderfully though, by default without any changes to power and temp or voltage, it boosts 2025 Mhz. I've been letting Witcher 3 run overnight (just standing at one place thought) and in the morning the game's still running.
 
It looks like I got an old card though since the serial number is 2624 from factory 29 and I have the plastics stuck under the screw. Maybe they fix the PCB but put on an old shroud?
 
Any idea how I can get the rest of the plastics out? Tweezers aren't not working since they're too tight. My cheap screw set from the dollar store with the 1.5 Hex and T6 bit doesn't fit and I'm definitely not going to pay $50 for an iFixit set just because EVGA messed up their side.
 
FYI, my old card serial was 5261 from factory 25 and it has black screen.

Glad to hear that! Happy Gaming! yea that can be an issue. Did you make sure you to pull the plastic very slowly? lol
