Recently I began to do some overclocking with the precisionX software after the new update. After doing some minimum adjustments (pow 117%, GPU clock + 300 and MemClock + 50), I found that when i press apply the software caused my system to freeze. During this time the monitors (3 in nvidia surround) would, one by one, display a solid color or continue to have the last frozen image displayed. It also appeared that i could not interact with the system. Attempted to restart the machine and the precisionX UI did not load on restarts and the system would freeze after 30-60 seconds.
I restarted in safe mode, cleared precisionX software and nvidia drivers to start fresh with a new install several times, however, the moment i ran the precisionX program the same issue would happen.
On the most recent attempt i found that there was a precision.cfg file which remained after the uninstall, i found it by searching for "EVGA" in my explorer window. Deleted this file and was able to start precisionX and get the UI to appear from a fresh install. From this moment on I felt that i was able to start using the program again and began to set the overclock settings back to where i had them starting with adjusting the power %. The same issue began to happen again after I applied the settings, and this time I patiently waited to see if it would come back. After a few long moments it did. I then made another adjustment to the GPU clock and applied the changes which produced the same behavior, several seemingly long moments of the displays being frozen followed by a short signal boot and then the displays would work again.
Was troubleshooting this still late into last night, ended up making a new profile and adjusting those settings. When i pressed apply for the alternate configuration the system completely froze again. I ran out of patience and manually shut down.
Is this a normal behavior for the program when making adjustments to the OC settings? It did not freeze my system to apply the settings with the previous version.
Anyone else noticing similar behavior?
I run NZXT CAM software for the cpu pump and fan controls. Has not been an issue, just wanted to make mention of it.
