I received my rift yesterday and I too was having this issue were the rift screen would go black and I heard the windows device disconnect sound. I fixed by turning off "power saving" on the USB hubs used by the rift in windows device manager.
Device manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers > right click on USB hub (I just did them all) > power management tab > un-tick "Allow the computer to turn off this device to power save"

I have been having the Oculus Rift CV1 screen black out after a few minutes when in apps like vTime and AltSpace. I hear the USB disconnect beeps as it goes black. The app keeps running and I see the monitor mirror, and sound keeps operating. But the Rift view has gone. After maybe 30 seconds it comes back, but sometimes it shows the Oculus Home screen then, where the app is definitely still running.
I have USB 3.0 ports on my main Dell Precision T3610 setup but with the Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft) that the Oculus compatibility checker version 1.0.0.229595 recently reports as incompatible (maybe for the front panel USB 3.0 ports which are underpowered and I am not using). Note though that the setup was indicated as compatible back in January with Compatibility Checker 150206! But, to try to fix this, I added an extra Inateck Superspeed 4 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card and have installed the latest drivers "FLUSB3.0-3.6.8.0a.exe" from their support site. I have unticked the power management for all the USB hubs and have rebooted in Oculus Home - Settings - Beta, as well as rebooting the computer a few times, as some suggested here on the forums that these actions might help.
Fishing around and looking at other forum posts about intermittent black screen on the Rift I did some more digging.
The Oculus Sensor plugged into the Inateck PCI-e card is reporting it is on USB 3.0, but the Rift plugged into another of the Inateck USB 3.0 PCI-e card ports reported USB as 2.0 in Oculus - Settings - Devices. I could not see why. If I plug it into the original Dell Renesas USB 3.0 port it shows in Oculus - Settings - Devices as 3.0.
I do not recall having these Rift screen black out problems when I first set up my Rift CV1 back in April.
So its all a bit confusing, and the black outs really mean its almost unusable at the moment. I see others are reporting similar problems, and I wonder if an Oculus software update introduced this.
