A small update. I am STILL waiting on a new cable from Oculus. I thought I would turn the pc on so that Windows wouldn't get out of date, suddenly it won't POST again! This time it's the boot device LED that's illuminated! I'm not overly shocked, I feel like these boards are garbage and the...

I did wonder one thing, that was that perhaps humidity could have been a factor. The computer is at the foot on my bed, and in these wet winter mornings our room has a humidity level of up to 65% in the morning, and a temperature of 19°C (66°F). I had taken to having a quick play for an hour...

Hi, I am still waiting on them shipping one out to me. Oculus do not sell, or even manufacture, the cable any more. So to get one I had to jump through some hoops to find that the cable was faulty. It certainly is faulty as if I wiggle it I can certainly get some tippy effects!

So, I Googled and the Arctic Silver 5 I had seemed to be okay for the GPU, and the whole computer was winding me up and I didn't want to ruin Sunday on it as well, so I did it last night. It did help with the temperatures, I was getting a steady 62C playing American Truck sim. Although when I...

I updated the graphics drivers, as I was running really old ones that were supposed to be good with Oculus (457 I think) the latest is 496, so I was a good bit behind. I played for forty minutes about again, Euro Truck sim this time. The graphics temperatures are not right I think, it was...

Busy day - with not great ending. Installed the "new" board. No POST beep, solid red CPU_LED warning light on the board. Used the FlashBack to put on the CAP Converter. Turned it on, same. Tried and tried to put the latest CAP on for the board, the BIOS Flashback button was just solid instead...

I guess that it is bound maybe, it's signed into my account, if that counts. I won a replacement used board today, same model, for £70. I guess if that fails to remedy my problems, I may abandon my 4930k and see if I can find an 8700K for sub £200 and then at least feel like I've had an...

Well, sadly the new power supply has not fixed it. Still did the no vga detected beeps and led. Also I noted that when I first powered it on and it was successful it just powered on, but the next time and it failed, it was silent for a few seconds, then the power supply clicked. So I am guessing...

Could a failing psu generate this type of symptom? A decade or so ago I remember changing a psu on a machine that kept blue screening and freezing, and it did fix that. It's so long ago I can't really recall the specifics, but I tried it as a guess. But that kind of makes sense, like if it's...

I downloaded the manual for my motherboard and it says that 1 long and 3 short is "No VGA detected". I feel confident that this is the issue as there is also an LED on the board with VGA_LED next to it, on the times when it does the error beeps this remains on, when it goes in fine this goes off.

So. I have purchased a Corsair RM750x, new, as if that is the problem and it fixes it great, but also if the board has died it is probably a good idea to have a psu that I trust in the machine anyway before I put a new board in. I'll report back in a few days as to the outcome.

It's a Corsair CX600M It was in the tower when I bought the pc on ebay 2018. I guess it could be original. Could a failing power supply create symptoms like this? Would be great if a new psu just fixes it!

Hi, I have a machine that I have been using solely for Oculus Rift gaming since mid 2018, a few hours a day, I got it used. Never had any issues with it until the last month or so. One day when I turned it on, it did the post beep, then a long beep and three short beeps, then another beep. I...
