Re-occurring blackouts and sensor problems.

Ever since I got the Rift S. I've had numerous blackouts while playing games, specifically shooters like Pavlov and Killing Floor. To fix it (temporarily) I need to restart either Oculus or my entire PC. I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the internal wiring or if its a software issue. Because of the large scale reports of this problem, I believe it may be fixable with either a software update or changes to PC settings. Anyway, I may have found a helpful article, I have yet to test any of these methods but hopefully they fix it for some people.

My game just freezes and won't change until I restart pc or software. No permanent fix that I know of yet. Very disappointed with Oculus right now..

Did this ever get fixed or any fixes for it? Just got my Rift S and trying to play PokerstarsVR and I keep getting white spots popping in and out, then the screen goes black and the game crashes. Then the headset sensors won't track unless I restart my PC. My computer has enough power and performance, so don;t know what to do.
