I'm having this same issue.  RMA'd my 1070 FTW as I thought the card was defective.  Try to run the Auto VF curve and same thing.  The scanner window crashes, then the XoC app has a difficult time being redrawn and sometimes the whole screen goes black and I lose use of my PC for about a minute.  I want to say the issue started with 6.1.14, but I have tried reverting to .13 and also the updated .15 and .16; while deleting the install folders before installing a different version.  Before I did the RMA I had done a complete clean install of Windows 10 to try and narrow down the problem and only changes I've made since is installing Rocket League and XoC.  I know when I first got the card the auto OC scanner worked because I thought it was the coolest thing!
 
I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic, and memtest86 overnight and didn't come up with any errors, my PSU is putting out rock solid voltages.  Only things left are the mainboard and the CPU, but I'd prefer it be a software issue!!

I'd believe that, but, I know it worked at one point, and I've replicated that one point.  XoC 6.1.13, .14, .15, .16 all crash. And I know it worked on .13.  I've even gone so much as to install each driver that was released from the time I bought my card, ends up with the same results.  If I close the scanner window fast enough it will continue on but it seems that once it nears a 1.8GHz step, it locks up.

Must not be able to quote myself on this forum software, but I did mention I've tried every nvidia driver from the time I bought my card

I use Driver 373.06 on all but 1080 Ti Cards and on my 1080 Ti Cards I use 378.92.
But as others will post time to RMA.

I'll give 373.06 a try, I would RMA, but I literally got this card installed a little over 12 hours ago from an RMA.

RMA over buggy software? Lol. No.

That is why I sad Others, kind of like you

I would never tell someone to rma their card because xoc's auto oc scanner caused the app to crash.

I was experiencing low benchmark scores with the card as well, that was when I decided to RMA.
 
There was some improvement with driver 373.06 and XoC 6.1.13, but still froze.  installed XoC 6.1.6 and it seems to be working as intended.  Thank you!!

I am bringing this one back from the dead! So I have been having a LOT of issues with the current XOC software. I recently found time in my life to start gaming again and stacked up on the latest and greatest hardware. For the video card, I naturally defaulted to EVGA since they have been the "best" since I could remember. I ordered my SC2 1080ti and it was amazing. So I remembered this program called "MSI Afterburner" to get a little more out of it and loaded it up. I was able to pump it up to +30 on the GPU clock and +500 on the memory with no issues.
 
Upon registering my video card on the EVGA site I saw they had their own software which controlled the special "iCX" fans better. Naturally, I installed it. I was having SO MANY issues! The program I used to gauge my performance gain was "Underbenchmark" as I have used it in the past. Now that I had switched to XOC it was constantly crashing on the GPU part of the benchmark. Overwatch wasn't crashing, but had strange hangs here and there and felt like 30fps at times versus the 100+ it said it was running at. I didn't think anything about it and ran sfc /scannow, memtest, and a bunch of other stuff like **** happened! I assumed the overclock was just not 100% stable on my CPU. I tried removing all overclocking and everything but still experienced strange behavior from games.
 
I FINALLY started to find threads stating how badly the software actually is and I ran across this one with a "fix" to install 6.1.6. If I install anything over this version I get really strange issues. This is very disappointing as I remember all the way back to the computer expos of the early 2000s when EVGA was the expensive gold standard in graphics and now they can't even produce stable software. It's definitely disappointing to see all the issues to say the least.
