Hello Clawzs, we noticed that your Oculus Rift isn't connecting with HDMI. That's no fun for a gamer. No worries. We're here to help! With that said, let's try the troubleshooting steps below:

  1. Make sure your Rift headset is plugged into your dedicated graphics card. If you try to use your integrated graphics card, it won't connect. 
  2. Make sure your Rift and computer are up-to-date. To do so, click here

Install the latest Oculus drivers. Follow the steps below to install the latest Oculus drivers:

  1. Close the Oculus app.
  2. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run command.
  3. Enter C:\Programs Files/Oculus/Support/oculus-drivers.
  4. Open oculus-driver.
  5. Open the Oculus app and then try to connect your headset again.

Restart the Oculus app on your PC computer.
