Hello,
 
This morning when I booted up my PC, the LEDs on the GPU were flashing white off and on.  I had it set to a color spread based on GPU temp prior to shutting down yesterday, that was working for months.
I checked Precision X1 and it had "Check updates" set to "Never", which is not what I had it set to.  I downloaded the latest version, 1.0.6 and installed it.  When it tried to flash a new firmware version, it failed.  All I got was a "try again" message and a "Start" and "Close" button.  Hitting "Start" just resulted in the "failed, try again" message, so I clicked "Close".  The LEDs on the card no longer come on at all.
Now, whenever I try to change settings in PX1 and hit apply, the application crashes and none of my changes are saved.
 
My GPU part number: 11G-P4-2489-KR
 
In Precision X1, there are now only two icons at the top: VGA1 and HWM.

 
GPU-Z:

 
How do I fix this?  Is there a manual firmware update available for my card?  Here's the info page from PX1:

    How did you attempt to update the firmware when you don't have an update button on the info page?

    The firmware update was part of the install of version 1.0.6 of PX1.  I didn't initiate it separately.

    Do everything here except when you get to #5 install version 1.0.2.0. Let me know if you have the update button listed inside the info page then.

    OK, I followed the steps and left the PC powered off for about 30 minutes.  After installing everything I now have version 1.0.2 of PX1 running.  There's an LED button again, but the info page still does not show an update button.

     
    The LEDs still do not work, clicking the Apply button after making any settings change causes PX1 to crash and no changes are saved.  The Save button also does not save any settings changes.  I am running PX1 with administrator privileges.

    Just for completeness, I re-installed version 1.0.6.  It ran the firmware updater and this time it was able to finish the update.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    My LEDs work again, the info page shows the firmware versions now, and I'm able to change the LED settings.  I still can't change settings like "Start with Windows" and apply without PX1 crashing, but at least everything is working as intended with the card itself.
     
    Thanks again Sajin!
