My screen suddenly turned a solid brown color and had to hard shutdown. After rebooting, it did the same thing after a couple seconds after logging into windows. I didn't know much about this program and was just trying to get the achievements. Now I'm scared I might have broken my gtx 770. Does anyone know if this is fixable? Thanks I guess you saved profile with maxed clocks. If so - you must boot your OS under Windows safe mode When Windows starts, system probably launching EVGA PrecisionX at startup. If you have Windows 7, then just hit F8 key untill you will see OS boot options, then pick a safe mode and uninstall PrecisionX WITHOUT saving PrecisionX settings. That fixed it! Thank you! That's a relief.

Its an overclocking tool - if those two things aren't immediately obvious to you, don't use the tool. The fact is, people will pick this tool up not understanding that, as no warning is provided. There are, I'd wager, a lot of people who overclock without actually understanding the purpose and dangers of doing it. I have close friends who've overclocked their systems into oblivion because of a lack of the fundamental knowledge required to safely do it.

So far, none of this is a knock against this tool specifically. My issue with this release of Precision X is that its achievements page actively encourages excessive, dangerous overclocking. One in particular encourages setting your GPU's clock to 2 GHz, which is a terrible idea for all but a handful of existing cards. The fact is, this is a release that promotes dangerous modification of a GPU's function, and only warns against its danger within its own fine print. For a company as traditionally user-focused as EVGA, this is a glaring oversight.
