I recently had this issue with the Z590. I ran through the forums and the most helpful was from user
bob16314 in another thread listed here:
https://forums.evga.com/Eleetx-error-code-Ring0quotquotOpen-m2867557.aspx Assuming you read through that post, I had the following issue:
After installing ELEET X1, I would attempt to open it and get the "Ring0 could not open". Run as Admin and changing permissions didn't do anything. I thought I had conflicting software with iCUE but shutting down services and uninstalling it did not help.
What I found was installing ELEET X1 did not install a registry key here named WinRing0_1_2_0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services I am pretty sure it has to do with a service running while Windows is booted up normally. The fix for me was to uninstall ELEET X1 and install it under safe mode (no networking). Once I did that I noticed that the registry key entry was there with the appropriate values. One difference from user
bob16314 post is that EVGA moved the WinRing0 folder to the root EVGA folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EVGA\WinRing0 So your image path should point there. Running the ELEET X1 in safe mode won't work however when you launch it as a regular user, it launches another executable "regWing0.exe" as a registry edit to make sure the image path is pointed correctly. I verified by changing the image path to something else then running the .exe in safe mode.
TLDR: Try installing ELEET X1 in safe mode.
Other notes:
Running EVGA EleetX1_1.0.9.0 with z590 FTW, Corsair Vengeance RAM 64gb, bunch of other Corsair RGB fans/rad/etc.
Fresh install of Windows 10.
Motherboard shipped with 1.04 bios version to which I updated to 1.08.
@EVGA, not sure why the installer (if it even is supposed to) or regWing0.exe didn't install the registry key but this is where my problem was.
Edit: Mispelling/Typo. Added @EVGA section.
