Sorry for the late reply on this, but we think it's a compatibility issue with PrecisionX Mobile.  We're further looking into this and I'll reply when I hear something new.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have both the SC17 and SC15. I flashed both computers with the new BIOS file. Precision Mobile is a mess on the SC17, but it is working fine on the SC15.

Sorry, guys, I blame Jacob on this one.  Link works now.
 
I'll forward the scaling issue to our software team.  Thanks.

Still doesnt work. Using BIOS 1.07, tried uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling.
 
EDIT: Found fix. The previous BSOD due to BIOS 1.07 apparently kills (sometimes) winring0.dll. Downloading and running "Open Hardware Monitor" (http://openhardwaremonitor.org/downloads/) fixes the .dll and now Precision Mobile works.

Thanks for being responsive. 
I am sure it's too late for feedback like this, but the UI design in PXM is ... challenging. It looks like they worked hard to make it look cool, but as a result it is also just plain hard to use. It took me a few tries to even figure out how to drag the window around.

the following is also posted in the "do not install bios 1.0.7 thread", but wanted to give more exposure here also--
 
disgruntled SC-17 g-sync user here, on newest bios, newest win10 update. precision x mobile has been broken since the bios update, and the newest version 1.0.11 still doesn't work for me. it's at least not freezing up my laptop anymore but it simply won't launch. i see it trying in task manager but after it tries with a not responding message next to the process it just disappears. seriously disappointing, i can't even use this laptop for its intended purpose (gaming) for the last month because the damn thing runs hotter than the sun.
 
~edited to add that every time i try to launch pxm i get 4 entries in event viewer: service control manager event ID 7000 - The WinRing0_1_2_0 service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
 
~edited once more to add that i also get a single entry per attempt to launch in: application error event ID 1000 - Faulting application name: PrecisionX_Mobile.exe, version: 1.0.11.0, time stamp: 0x5af503ad
Faulting module name: PrecisionX_Mobile.exe, version: 1.0.11.0, time stamp: 0x5af503ad

~final edit, as reported above running open hardware monitor while attempting to launch pxm allows the software to run.

Is there any additional news or progress or at least confirmations of the problems people are still having with this?  It seems like there's no further follow-up going on, and yet people are having to run other 3rd party apps in and around your own just to get your software working and running on your own hardware??  If that's the case, I would like to see that this is addressed, as this mess is causing a lot of problems - i.e. I can have a stable and 'working' bios/pxm without the security fixes and without any windows updates (because it locks up on reboot of applying the updates), or I can apply the newer maybe-stable bios/pxm but only if I remember to apply the workaround on every startup.

Running 1.07 on an SC17 1070 G-Sync model causes major FPS drops. In Assassin's Creed Origins, after about 2 minutes of play, my FPS will drop from 60 to 5. It will run 5fps or less for about 10 seconds, then jump back up. This repeats every minute or two. I don't have this problem with 1.06. I've tested both versions with Fan Boost on and off and both behave the same. It seems that 1.07 causes some kind of thermal or power limit to essentially make the machine behave like it's not even plugged in for a few seconds every few minutes.

Flashed my SC17 768-41-2633. The download link for the updated PrecisionX Mobile 1.0.11 is not working (404 error). Definitely need it as I've lost a lot of overclocking adjustment and bios presets.
