Dear all:
I wish this can help you ! This is a possible solution.
THE PROBLEM:
The Oculus Rift goes black after some time (from 1 to 15 minutes working perfectly) while RIFT audio keeps working. NO ERROR MESSAGE, and Oculus application keeps thinking everything Is all rightโฆ
- Itโs not a matter of low power on USB 3.0
- Itโs not a matter of bad drivers for NVIDIA
- Itโs not a matter of bad Oculus Rift software installation
- Itโs not a matter of bad Windows setup (sleeping USB ports, neither controlling USB power).
THE CAUSE:
Some laptops have a problem with their integrated HDMI output, due to โI DONโT KNOW EXACTLY WHATโ related with direct connection to NVIDIAโฆ and bla bla blaโฆ
THE SOLUTION:
DONโT USE LAPTOP INTERNAL HDMI.
BUY an adaptor from Mini displayport to HDMI (always supposing the laptop has a mini displayport), BUT itโs not valid any adaptor. I had 2 adaptorsโฆ both could output 4K, but couldnโt output 4K at 60fps !!!
So BUY AN EXTERNAL CONVERTER FROM MINI DISPLAYPORT TO HDMI 2.0, 4K 60fps. (COST: about 9โฌ)
The one that worked for me is the ICZI Adaptor Mini Displayport to HDMI (Thunderbolt 2) which is an HDMI 2.0 output and offers 3840x2160 60fps output.

Iโve been testing for hours this morning and works perfectly!!! So happy to solve this problem that annoyed me for several days. And happy to help others !!
