^^ I spent it but in fact it doesn´t matter. But think about 700€ for the Rift, 200€ for the Touch Contorllers, 70 € for the third sensor and more than 300 bucks for games in the oculus store.

I will check this indeed. That is a good thought, my be quiet bronze psu has 600 watts only. Thank you.

I do think it unlikely that your HMD is really the issue if nothing happened to it and was working before your GPU upgrade. First thing I would suspect is the PSU and if it has enough voltage to drive the new video card with all the other VR voltage requirements.

Did you try putting the old GPU in if you still have it and see if the issue persists?They would not have had any way of processing that payment, who would it go to? There is no official "test and repair" department. I think the refurbs are processed by a separate company as well.
- I wrote back and asked if i can send in my device for testing it. i offered to pay for this kind of service. I mean if only the cable or a connector is broken i do not need a complete new hdmi.

First of all I have to say thank you for all your good suggestions. Maybe I was a little bit sad that my HMD broke down and the CV2 is still not announced officially.
Anyway I tried another PC in the meantime with the same result. So I can delete PSU and GPU from my list.
Now I have ordered a new HDMI cable from Oculus. This is the only part which had to struggle with wear over the time . The HMD itself was never transported.
I would like to test it again like this:
If it still does not work, I need a new HMD and can sell a cable (only used one time) for a fair price via ebay to another Rifter who might want to track down an error, too. And if it works I saved more than 200 bucks.
I´ ll keep you posted.

Unfortunately I sold my old msi 1070 to my neighbour quickly to compensate some of the money which I spent for the rtx. But maybe he will give me the chance to try my rift on his PC. I will definitively ask him the next time.
