Thanks for the advice and help. I'll look into a replacement for the PSU. I accept that it may not be a particularly good model etc. but to be clear; even if it's considered a marginal unit, it did work flawlessly for nearly 6 months with the same Rift setup -- so we're not just saying that it is inadequate, but that it has probably developed a fault? It's still under warranty, so I'm just wondering if it's reasonable to pursue that.

@Electryic - You might be right but he's tried fully reinstalling Windows 10 and still has the problem. Hence why people said it might be worth borrowing a PSU and trying that to see if it works. Could Windows 10 still cause the same problem you mention after a clean install, if it can then is sticky tape really the answer?

Resurrecting this old thread for closure....
In the end, I replaced my PSU with a high quality one (Corsair RM750i). No change.
Immediately after that, tracked down the cause... the mains line electricity wire was loose in the electricity meter across the road -- only found this out when it knocked out the whole house. The computer was obviously more sensitive to the slight flickers as the problem began.
So: not a Rift problem, or even a computer problem, but the main electricity pole outside on the street! :sweat_smile:
Wow, just reading this thread through and increasingly thinking what others were... that this was a PSU issue, that's the problem I've had in the past that destabilises more than anything else.
The one thing I'd never have considered is an issue with the power supply into the house!! this goes to show how thinking outside the box is a good idea… literally in your case. I'll add this to my list of things to think about in the future, although probably still the last thing on my list!!
Anyway, glad it's been sorted @MarsKat , hope you have a lot of hours of trouble-free VR, sounds like you deserve it!
