I must say I have never ever encountered the amount of misery I'm having since I bought an Oculus Rift. Don't get me wrong the device itself (if working) is great to play on but boy did I get my share of misery. Lockups, black screens, usb going berserk you name it. I hope someone here can help me get out of this hole because I'm sick and tired of troubleshooting. 20% of the time my rift is connected I'm troubleshooting. Ok, rant ended. Let me describe my problems.
As many of you have experienced I have the sensor disconnect problem. I'm reading that the devs are on it so I'll leave that hoping there will come a solution.
The main problems I have for the moment are:
After 20 mins of playtime (iRacing) my Rift starts to show black screens. The longer I wait the more black screens I get resulting in a complete black screen. If I look into my eventvwr I see the error:
“The Oculus VR Library Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
There are no more files.”
A lot of other errors as well but don’t know which one really causes all the problems. I’m on the latest video drivers + oculus update. Here is the rest of my rig:
Asus sabertooth x99
Core I7 -5820K
32 gigs of ddr3
M2 ssd drive
Also using hdmi + usb extension cables (3m) I ordered the ones that were recommended here on amazon. Having the problems as well when connected directly on pc.
Hi Cybereality. Thank you for the fast feedback. I've checked the website from Asus multiple times and the latest version there was 1.16.33.1. However the version on the asmedia webpage was 1.16.38.1. So installed the drivers to the latest version. Will give it a try again tonight. Fingers crossed
Hi Cybereality. Thank you for the fast feedback. I've checked the website from Asus multiple times and the latest version there was 1.16.33.1. However the version on the asmedia webpage was 1.16.38.1. So installed the drivers to the latest version. Will give it a try again tonight. Fingers crossed
Do you have this problem also without using those extension cables?
More of us with the "repeating black screen with increasing frequency until permanent" bug: https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/39125/flashing-black-screens#latest I can't see anything ASUS os ASMedia on my computer and obviously not using an extension cable so that's not the problem. Everything runs perfectly until the black screens start after a few minutes. I have the recommended Fresco Logic USB ports with the newest drivers.

In the meantime I've found some time to test after the usb driver update. First I played a session for 10 minutes without a problem (iRacing) then I restarted for a session of 20 minutes. Everything was going smooth... until the freaking black screen was back. The strange thing about though is that it didn't gradually build up until block. I got 2 or 3 black screens and then I could continue racing. Unfortunately I don't have more time to test. This is was I saw in my eventlog when the blackscreen appeared:
(I also must note I reainstalled virtual desktop on my oculus account for ease of access, don't know if that has something to do with it - starting the game from virtual desktop as you drop to desktop when changing courses, ... )

no problem, will do. Will also check the propositions regarding power plans: https://forums.oculus.com/developer/discussion/37744/cv1-logs-showing-failed-to-set-power-mode-on-nvidia-adapter-175-any-ideas
