Also, I have to most recent graphics drivers installed.

GPU - 1x EVGA 1080 FTW
SSD - Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
MOBO - Asus Maximus VIII Gene
AIO - Corsair Hydro H115i
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8)
KB - Corsair K70 Lux RGB
MOUSE - Corsair M65 Pro RGB
MOUSEPAD - Corsair MM800 Polaris RGB
LIGHTING - NZXT Hue+
MONITORS - 2x Asus VG248QE

Running Software:

Corsair iCue
NZXT CAM
Steam
SpaceDesk
DisplayFusion

If there's any more info I should post, please let me know.

Thanks for your assistance!

    Corsair iCue and/or NZXT CAM could be conflicting with the install as they are all hardware monitoring software and may use the same services. Please try installing PX1 while said software is not running, ultimately completing troubleshooting by uninstalling said software if needed. Keep us posted!

    Yep..I used to get exactly that everytime I installed PX1 too.
    That's caused when regWing0.exe in the Program Files\EVGA\Precision X1 folder runs during install and tries to add WinRing0_1_2_0 to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services folder in the Windows Registry and it already exists, but the ImagePath points to a different program, not Precision X1.
    Create a System Restore point should you mess up something.
    Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog.
    Type in regedit and click OK.
    Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services folder, find the WinRing0_1_2_0 folder in the left pane and left-click on it.
    Double-click ImagePath in the right pane and see what program it points to (for me, it's Real Temp), then close/disable that program and close Regedit.
    Install/Overinstall PX1 again and you should see the ImagePath now pointing to WinRing0_1_2_0 that's in the Program Files\Precision X1 folder when you open Regedit again.
    Alternatively, you can close/disable the program shown in the ImagePath and right-click to delete the WinRing0_1_2_0 folder in the left pane..Then install PX1 again and the WinRing0_1_2_0 folder will be recreated with the ImagePath pointing to WinRing0 in the Program Files\Precision X1 folder.
    Then run/enable the program again that you closed/disabled and restart your PC.
    Works for me..Hopefully works for you/others too..I suppose EVGA will need to somehow fix it in their PX1 installer package.

    Thanks everyone, that post fixed it. For some reason my search terms didn't return anything of use.
     
    But I have a question: Since the ImagePath value was pointing to my NZXT CAM software, and now it's set to PX1, is that going to cause issues with NZXT CAM?
