Critical Error no HDMI

Anonymous
Not applicable
Last night a new issue arose. Games would play fine for about 15-30 minutes then the Rift would go black for a few seconds then the home screen would pop up after saying the Headset HDMI wasn't connected. However, the headset worked just fine. Happens everytime now. So I turned on the don't disturb button and it goes to a black screen for a second or two then keeps playing without further errors. When you exit out it has the headset marked with a red error but still works perfectly. I have 2x 980gtx SLI

While SLI is not supported, it won't necessarily cause issues. Typically the VR software will just disable SLI right before a VR game loads. At home I use SLI, and I have it enabled without any issue. But it may be a good idea to disable SLI and see if that helps.

Anything special you have to do it run it through the display port? I have an HDMI/DP adapter but the Headset screen just flickers on and off.

I think passive adapters work better.

Can you tell me what these are... sorry

Passive are none powered adaptors. Basically they just move the pins to where they need to be. Active adaptors draw a bit of power and amplify the signal
