HDMI and Headset USB keep disconnecting every few seconds

I just recieved my CV1 after using the DK2 for quite some time. Hours of trouble shooting and trolling about these forums, reddit, etc and I'm at the point I'm not sure what else to do. 

What's happening is during the setup process of my new device (in the Oculus software) I reach the step "Connect your rift headset and oculus sensors" Everything gets checked off green for a few seconds then the headset changes to a loading icon, rinse and repeat. (attempting to just go next results in a "there was a problem" esk message whenever the headset drops. After a minute or so of connecting / disconnecting it eventually gives up and just stays disconnected.

I've already tried updating what drivers I could come up with (Video, USB, etc) rebooting, Windows Update, Updating Oculus to the latest beta, uninstalling oculus and reinstalling it, uninstalling a variety of drivers and reinstalling them. digging into power management configurations, swapping to every imaginable combination of USB ports (both 2.0 and 3.0) Going with no adapters, trying adapters, trying HDMI straight, adapting HDMI to Display, etc. Nothing seems to have made any form of meaningful impact on the situation with the CV1 (my sanity may have been meaningfully impacted during this process)

I have also tried reseating all of the cables (on both the headset itself and the appropriate ports, At this point I'm grasping for straws, I am absolutely seeing things in the logs that might help, but I think any ability to concentrate left me hours ago, so please if anyone can help I'd greatly appriciate it.

I had disonnect problems months ago. Changing the motherboard solved my problem 



Really??
I have a Fatality Z 97 with i7 4790(Devils Canyon 4.5 Hz)
, 1070 TI, 32 GB of memory, SSD, etc.

But here is the part were I am lost.
It works, until I get the FIRMWARE update.
Now, mind you, I have own many Oculus.
As it would play out, looking for the fix to their crap ware.
Full of A.I. on their server. (FaceBook)
So, I bought a BRAND new one today. And, after I used my new CV1, it , " Bricked, " after I hit the " Firmware Update."

Now, you genius of all. I ask you, " why would it do that? "

We are all adults here.
My new SABRENT is loved by my magnificent Motherboard. We are Intel & damn proud of that bruh!
And in conclusion, why do so many of us keep coming up with the same argument?

Can you help me on my 4th CV1?
After 3 different hardware setups ?
oh, I must add this, bruh, " Put on your God Damned MASK, before I call The Law.

EricZafriusRasnake  you answered your own question. There is nothing wrong with the Oculus hardware or the hardware in you computer. Its their firmware and/or drivers. The same headsets that used to work perfectly for many months are now incompatible with a huge portion of the PC market... and there is no way of knowing which part of your pc its not liking. I don't know what to tell you except that you wasted your money like alot of us. Sell the CV1's to another sucker and invest in anything that doesn't have Oculus stamped on it.
