HP Reverb Random Black Screen

[tpluff]

Hello,

I've recently got an HP Reverb, using for racing sim primarily. The problem I have is during a session, from day 1, the screen inside the headset goes black for a few seconds and sometimes for good. I can see on the monitor it is still tracking, but the HMD is still black. I have updated Bios, uninstalled/reinstalled WMR and Steam VR, updated GPU driver (then cleaned and updated with older driver version), disabled all USB select suspend and power savings settings. I've tried all 3 display 1.4 ports in the GPU and all 5 powered USB 3.2 ports on the motherboard. At this point, I only can think of trying the headset on another PC or exchanging. 

My configs settings:

I7-10700k

RTX 2080 Super

16 gb 3600 mhz Ram

Asus Z490 F motherboard. 

850W PSU

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Thank you for the response. As my first post demonstrates, the system I am running far and away exceeds all minimum requirements. Its not that the headset never works, its that it randomly goes out while using it. Neither CPU nor GPU are experiencing throttling due to heat either. 

Any other suggestions?

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from,
