Selecting 'Extended Desktop to HMD' results in Blue Screen !

Anyone ?? :(

What is the cause of the BSOD? BlueScreenView is a free app that will allow you to view your minidumps in an understandable fashion.

What resolution and refresh rate is your main display?

I am assuming you have your main display hooked to one Dual Link DVI, then the Rift hooked up with the HDMI to DVI adapter? I think with the age of this card you may not be able to display 2 simultaneous displays at 1080p, assuming that is what you're trying to do.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling GPU drivers and the Oculus Runtime?

Hi all,

If I go into the "Rift Display Mode" and try to switch to 'Extended Desktop to HMD' mode
I get a Blue Screen in Windows (didn't see that in years!!!).
So I'm stuck for now on "Direct HMD Access from Apps"...


Anybody else had this happen to them ??

My specs:

• DK2


• Windows 7


• Geforce 9600 GT (my GeForce 980GTX is on it's way)


• Latest Nvidia drivers installed


• Latest firmware on DK2 (2.12)


• Latest Oculus Runtime installed (0.4.2)

wow 9600 GT to 980GTX is a huge step up

Can you send me the crash dump? I can have someone take a look.

One thing I can think of is apps that use DirectX11 would not work on a 9600 GT.

Actually - I had a GeForce 580,
That I accidently destroyed after spraying WD-40 on it...
(I thought I was grabbing the aif-pressure thingie)
So the 9600 is just a backup I had laying around..
