Hi all, i have an I7-9700k, 32gb ram and a PNY 2080 GPU, i also have a Rift S VR system. On Monday evening i was using my Rift to play Assetto Corsa with some friends when the headset went blank (complete black screen) mid race however it was still tracking movement as when i took it off the image was moving with the headset on my monitor. I figured it was probably a malfunction with the headset and did the following steps:
Uninstall Oculus software and drivers
reboot
reinstall oculus
oculus detected the Rift and asked me to run through setup, i did that till it told me to continue the setup in the headset but the headset still remained blank.
I then tried different USB ports and also a different Display Port on my GPU but again no display in the headset (although Oculus passes the tracking sensor check)
I have also now fit a PCIE USB3 card but issue still remains
My daughters pc is an i5-10400 with a Radeon R9 so to rule other stuff out i plugged the headset into her pc, installed Oculus and it lit striahgt up and went through the setup fine.
This now puts the blame on my computer.
I have removed the 2080 from my pc and swapped in her Radeon and the headset lights up as it should.
I then put my 2080 into her pc but the headset remains blank.
This now leads me to believe that the GPU is the problem.
Here's the kicker though, the 2080 has 3 DP and 1 HDMI and my ROG gaming monitor works fine in all 4 ports, its only the Oculus that has an issue.
Games also seem to play fine when not in VR so i can't say the card doesn't seem to be defective other than with the VR system.
I have tried all the different USB ports on my pc and all the different display ports on the GPU. I cannot try different cables as the cable is a custom connector at the HMD that splits into USB/DP at the other end.
I'm not sure what to try next and if i were to try and RMA the card (its in Warranty till April 2022) how would i do so as they will likely plug in a monitor and it work fine?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated
Thanks
