New Rift owner, lots of game crashing!

Hi, I have a brand new gaming rig, and so far The Climb, Robo Recall, and Wilsons Heart, all crashing on me at some point or another, time varies but I never get far.
In The Climb, I couldn't even get through the first tutorial without crashes. Uninstall, reinstall twice seemed to fix the problem. Today I finally got to play the first climb in the game, and couldn't reach the end because of another crash. Played Robo Recall for the first time, couldn't even get through the tutorial. Wilson's heart... made it to the second room, crashed.

My system is way above recommended spec.
I7700k, 32GB RAM, MSI GTX1080Ti Armor OC. 256GB SSD with operating system and 3TB SATA where I have all of the games installed
3 sensors, 2 in USB 3.0 and correctly recognized, and third in usb 2.0 with no problems.

Yesterday I ensured that Windows was completely up to date, all USB power management for sensors is turned off.
I updated Motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers along with all other relevant hardware. I updated NVIDIA drivers to latest version as well from the NVIDIA website.

I don't know what else I can do. PLEASE HELP! While I'm in VR the experience is great! But so far of what I have tried in the past week of getting things setup bit by bit the only things that have not crashed are Touch Tutorial/First Contact, TheBlu, and Spiderman Homecoming! I have a large library and its really frustrating. Wife would like to play too but how can I hand over buggy software for her and friends to enjoy!!

I would have to say yes it fixed the problem.
Now all you need to do afterwards is just be super patient with getting sensors and USB arrangement handled LOL. I still love the Rift though.

Same issue here, some nights I cannot play an hour without the game crashing, hell Oculus home crashes sometimes. When it crashes in games it first stops then starts to jitter, it's like 3 of the same frame are one on top of each other and they're flashing rapidly one after the other. Oculus home just freezes and if i'm in another home than my first, it brings me back to the first. AMD FX 9590 8 cores, GTX 1070 TI 8 gig, DDR3 Corsair Vengence 16 gigs on win. 10 pro. Not the latest setup, but over what's needed to run the rift easily.
VR dedicated computer...AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 
32 gigs of G.Skill Trident Z neo 2X16 Gb DDR4 3200Mhz
 MSI 1070-TI,  on a MSI B-570 Gaming plus motherboard,
EVGA super nova 1000 Watt PSU
Oculus is on a  CORSAIR Force MP600 Gen4 PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 SSD

I currently have the same issue. I might know a fix for this.

Go to the left bottom of your screen on the windows logo, search up “Device Manager”

In the Device Manager dialog box, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click any USB device and then select Properties. In the USB Properties dialog box, select the Power Management tab. And turn it off.

If that doesn’t work, can you post a screen shot of all the USB things in your Device Manager?

Still need help?
