Hello, I usually never ask anything on forums but finally I am stumped, everything has been working fine since i got the GPU, (3080 XC black) but 3 days ago when i turned on my computer my gpu started revving the fans up and down constantly and every time I try to reach PX1 i get this error (see IMG below) which when i click OK or try to close it immediately restarts my computer; and pops right back up upon reboot. I have tried getting rid of the program, deleting it, deleting everything X1 related in Registry editor, I'm at a loss now and wondering if anyone has had this problem and what they did to fix it? thank you for reading!

    You just need to nuke this line out of it.
    If you get stuck I can mod it for you.

    A run down is, Its reading the product id from the MCU.
    Its failing to get a product Id so its assuming that the MCU has just been updated and the card needs to be restarted.
    Then its trying to force windows to restart using the shutdown.exe command

    Heres a version recompiled with the message box and restart command removed.
    https://mega.nz/file/nPBTTAga#5fW3tuQXF60r7-BFLbj_SXHaFOCHnNtGoR0TKUtGCko

    Replace the exe in "C:\Program Files\EVGA\Precision X1" and it wont throw that message anymore.
    Altho for it to be throwing that message something has gone wrong with the MCU on your card.

    Is there any way to fix the MCU? I’m guessing that’s why on afterburner the fans still won’t hold steady, they are up and down constantly... you have a ton of knowledge on this, seriously thank you for your help!

    Force flash it.
    Which for a 3090 would be in cmd.
    C:\Program Files\EVGA\Precision X1\Library\FirmwareUpdate.exe --gpu 0 --fullname "C:\\Program Files\\EVGA\\Precision X1\\Firmware\\XC_E221_3Fans_AP_R114.bin" --return "C:\\Program Files\\EVGA\\PrecisionX_x64.exe" --address 0x0 --version 0

    But really you would be better to contact EVGA support since if you force flash it they might later on refuse to warranty since youv done something out of the normal.

    That error code means its not finding the string gpu in the args probably because its split by space and there is a space in the name "Precision X1"

     
    Encapsulating that first bit should fix that.
    "C:\\Program Files\\EVGA\\Precision X1\\Library\\FirmwareUpdate.exe" --gpu 0 --fullname "C:\\Program Files\\EVGA\\Precision X1\\Firmware\\XC_E221_3Fans_AP_R114.bin" --return "C:\\Program Files\\EVGA\\PrecisionX_x64.exe" --address 0x0 --version 0


    But really you should be contacting EVGA support. I will be releasing a tool later tonight or tomorrow to make flashing it easier since Iv got a FTW3 3090s in front of me to fix that got semi-bricked by PX1 1.1.15 which flashed the wrong firmware onto it and it just cycles between fan off and fan full with 1 red led light on by plug 1.

    Software called dnSpy it can decompile C# programs back to source code so im looking though the source code of PercisionX1 and its updater.

    Would you recommend i wait for your tool instead of going in the code myself?

    Id recommend talking to EVGA support.
    Tools intended for people that dont have a warranty from doing hardware mods.

    Just flashing the bios with nvflash shouldnt void the warranty as has been said by forum admins on here as long as you restore the factory bios again before sending it in.
