Specifically for a GTX980TI - Curious if this is likely to be a GPU/driver issue, or something on the Rift side of things...

Rift headset shows flashing orange light, static/white flickering. Occasionally, after restarting hardware/software, everything works perfectly for a few seconds- but the display flickers/cuts to black with even the slightest movement of the Rift headset. Touching/repositioning the cord has direct impact on blackout, exactly as expected for a faulty or inconsistent connection. 

This connection issue is also present in occasional flickering loss of HDMI connection, and display flicker-on when changing USB3 ports. Rift sensor and other devices work perfectly in all USB3 ports - all USB/GPU drivers up-to-date, no hardware/compatibility issues.

Same problem, using a 980Ti but doesn't look that good with no solution and the initial post was back in June...

I just checked my logs, and I'm seeing this error a lot too, is it something to be worried about? I haven't noticed anything wrong in this regard.

Also, I've got an nvidia 970.

I believe that is in everyone's logs. I see it all the time and I'm not sure it's issue for concern.

Not exactly the same but may help some ? Or maybe roll back to your last stable driver ?

What about the "Sensor X  got tracking event with error code 0" messages? I get them all the time but I don't know if I should

in my case I got the same error.  In my case it freezes whatever game I am on. I can not past a few minute playing.
