Recently updated Precision and it's started to cause multiple games to crash upon being open for only a few minutes. Close Precision, no crashes, open it the game will crash after a few minutes.

    Do you have the OSD enabled and if so, do you have any other monitoring software with an OSD also enabled? Could be causing a conflict in the hooking or something. If nothing else maybe do a clean install for precision and your gpu drivers to eliminate that variable

    So I'm an "MMO'r"... Every game that I play these days crashes if any part of Precision X is active.
    TESO, GW2, Wildstar, Rift, SWTOR, Age of Conan and TSW.
    Fresh install of Win 10 Pro, no other OSD or monitoring apps running and using the latest Precision X.
    The issue also extends to any voip software (and yes overlay is disabled in TS or mumble) and my "SRS" monitor speaker control panel.
    I hope to see a fix soon... I prefer EVGA over MSI :)

    Confirmed crashing on TERA, unturned, HOTS, though farcry 4 doesn't have any issues. a real shame too, i love the fps counter + frame time graphs. at least i can keep clock settings without program running, but i lose my fan profile and my card is oc'd to the point where it throttles a lot without it. q_q

    For those experiencing crashing can you try the version 5.3.7 just released today?

    Same issue here, osd off or on.  battlefield 4 crashes.   my zune music player software crashes after about 1 minute of opening everytime.  once i turn off evga precision x, zune stays running no problem.  
    precision x has also caused my cursor to disappear in starcraft 2.
    another issue, osd keeps turning it self on which is really annoying.  i'll turn it off and a few minutes later it will be on again

    Have GTX 960 here, Win 10, 64 bit.
    Had Nvidia Driver 353.xx. Can't remember atm.
    2 days ago played Heroes of the Storm, SC2 just fine. Last night decided to get EVGA Precision X. Installed this version: EVGA_PrecisionX_16_Setup_v5.3.7
    SC2 and Heroes would crash once the game started, I'd rejoin a game in Heroes and a few seconds later it would crash.
     
    This morning upgraded Nvidia Driver to 355.60. Still had those crashes, checked Windows updates, everything was up to date.
    Finally uninstalled EVGA Precision, now SC2 and Heroes don't crash at all.
     
    ~Edit. Wanted to add I turned my game settings down to LOW on everything while testing to see if that helped. It still crashed. Now everything's back up to Ultra/Extreme and it works fine.

    I'm still experiencing crashes, particularly on CS:GO where I'm told that "Courier New font" cannot be found nor created. This is Windows 10 x64 and with 5.3.7 Precision X Steam Version, which on the bright side is no longer spamming me with "server hook could not be found".

    Diablo 3 game crashes as well.  Upon install 5.3.7, additional Directx stuff was installed.  Nvidia control panel crashed once.  I set Blizzard Battlenet Launcher and Diablo 3 shortcuts to admin / Win8 compatible.  Set Precision shortcut to admin / Win8 compatible.  Would always lose mouse cursor within a few minutes.  Diablo 3 always crashed within 5plus minutes.   Tested multiple times.   After observing that Directx addon installed, is there a way to hide precision x overlay? Blizzard recommends against using Precision.  Mumble voice chat overlay causes zero issues with D3 though.  Is there a way to turn off / on the overlay or to install perhaps a lite version of precision with less features?
     
    5.3.7 installed.  Win10Pro x64 upgraded from Win8Pro.  Intel g3258 3.2ghz, msi z97-g55sli motherboard, 8gb ram, evga 560ti. Not overclocked.
     
    Uninstalled 5.3.7.  Opened Nvidia control panel window.  Ran multiple Diablo 3 games without any crashes.  Problem is with Precision compatibility -- not games and not Nvidia CP.

    Same issue here. Fresh Windows 10 install. 5.3.7 installed. Crashes/Lockups all but a couple games for me.
    5.3.7 seems to be better. I do get less black screens than 5.3.6 but still not working.
    I only use this software to adjust the horrible stock fan curve. (which are just way way to passive for a gaming rigs!)
    I don't understand why I need a runtime piece of software to adjust my fan curve. Why can't it just push the settings onto the card and let it deal with it. It obvious they have a stock set of numbers on the card, can't I just overwrite those?
     
    Is there an alternative stable piece of software that can do this?

    Same issue. Crashes on Star Conflict, Stronghold Kingdoms etc.
     
    Any chance we can get a link to an older working version till all these problems are fixed?

    Older versions linked here: www.evga.com/precision
     
    Under version history.
     
    We are aware of some DX9 games crashing with PrecisionX in Windows 10. We are working on it.

    Farcry 4 is crashing at the " Press Any Key To Continue" loading screen when Precision X is on. When I close Precision X it loads fine but the problem is the fan profile does not load when Precision X is not running and the temps go up to 90+ C. 
     
    So as a workaround I start the game and then start Precision X, until it is fixed in future versions.

    5.3.7 Crashing for me too with Witcher 3. OSD disable, steam fps disabled. When launching the game it immediately crashes when Precision X is minimized, if I close it the game runs fine. Only thing I can think of is Im using SweetFX, I'll disable that and see what happens.

    Be nice if a LITE version could be released not for overclocking but simply to adjust clock speeds.  Could be a checkbox when installing primary version -- choose LITE.   Perhaps less compatibility issues that way.

    Precision X only causes the game to crash during loading. When you start the Precision X after it loads , it works fine. But I am still getting crashes " Display Driver Stopped Working ", I've done a little research and it seems it's driver issue. when the Nvidia GameWorks options are enabled " such as Fur, enhanced Godrays, TXAA " the game will crash. This issue has been there for quite some time now. So either wait for a driver that works, or disable Nvidia GameWorks :/ Bummer !!! The game looks fantastic with Nvidia GameWorks ...

    Guild wars 2 crashes every Minute while having precision X 16 running in the background.
    I spent all day trying to figure why Guild wars 2 crashes and got some help from the
    Guild wars 2 team to isolate the problem which was precision X 16. Having it close seems to
    fix the issue, but now I'm worried about my GPU temperature... A fix would be awesome but
    does anybody know a stable version of it to play Guild wars 2?

    Edit: I am using the latest version of the software.
    Edit Edit: installed 5.3.5 fixed the issue. Cheers!

    My problem started as soon a I upgraded to Windows 10 and "some" Steam games when I exited my desktop went to one solid color. all i could highlight was the windows icon which was fully functional. No task bar or quick launch icons. Switch to start screen and things were normal. The only cure was to either logout or reboot.
     
    A format later and I dropped down to Windows 8.1 and the same thing happened. No warning that explorer crashed, just the solid color. Another format and this time I did not install the latest Precision X and things were perfect. Reluctantly I installed an older version (4.2.1) and everything has veen back to the way it should be. Sp,ething with the past couple of updates hosed my desktop.

    I'm completely unable to use Precision X, even 5.3.7 crashes in HotS, LoL and other games. I don't really want to test it because I don't want to lose progress in a game, so I just close it out completely. There is no reason this should be happening, let us completely disable OSD please.
