I picked an Oculus rift CV1 recently which works fine with my low end laptop, However So far I've failed to get it working with my Desktop.
Initially faced orange light problem which was corrected after upgrading my PCs CPU, motherboard and even added the recommended inateck USB 3.0 card with fresco logic chipset to ensure everything is compatible.
Current specs:
i3 10105F, Nvidia GTX970 GPU.
Now the LED inside headset glows white when any VR app is opened as it should. However as soon as I wear the headset (or put my finger near proximity sensor), I get an error on the TV screen "HARDWARE NOTIFICATION: Oculus isnt working correctly. Click here to view our support article". Screens inside the headset stays blank.
It works fine on laptop though.
I've tried below trouble shooting:
Windows reinstall.
Latest nvidia drivers (tried older drivers but oculus app said old drivers aren't compatible)
Upgraded from i5 4th gen to i3 10th gen with new motherboards.
Added the inateck USB3.0 card, tried its USB ports as well as motherboard's own USB 3.0 ports
Installed, removed the USB drivers (including PCI card's drivers)
removed, reinstalled, repaired oculus software
Turned off my TV (connected using display port), while Oculus is using GPUs HDMI
HDMI port works fine in my GPU.
Nothing has worked so far. The same headset works perfectly fine with my low end laptop so I know headset isn't the problem here.
