Immediate reboot crash. Seemingly random. With Oculus only

Is anyone running Oculus having a problem where their machine just reboots without warning? Im using Nvidia 980 graphics, I actually tried and returned and Asus and Gigabyte card thinking they were the problem but am still having it.

Any idea? I've liquid cooled my CPU, added additional fans. No luck. Seems to be fine if Im not in the Rift. :(
Pretty much unplayable for me. Sometimes I can go 30 minutes someitmes 2.

Anyone else?

I had that once early in release but not sense. I did some reading and for people having the issue in beta it was a PSU issue, (it wasn't producing enough power/defective).

iv had 3 similar issues on 2 different machines

1st was complete reboot, system just shut down like the power had been pulled, then restarted, that was due to the PSU not giving enough power to the 2gtx 680s, new psu fixed this

2nd id cleaned the case and fans, and put a fan back in the wrong way, then the cat sat ontop of the PC which was now drawing in hot air from the cat and the RAM overheated, again, system just died like the power had been cut, took me a while to figure out what had happened until i nearly burnt me fingers on the RAM

3rd, and most recent, and ONLY in the rift, after fitting a gtx 970, the nvidia display driver stopped responding, causing the system to 'semi crash' rammed up with a flashing display, needed restart every time. adjusting the 'power limit' to 120 in MSI afterburner fixed this(big overclock for the rift :D)

run a stress test on the CPU and GPU with something like 'OCCT' and see if the problem replicates itself

hope ya get it sorted soon brother

Well i've run a gpu (furmark) and a cpu (intelburntestV2) both ran fine for 30 minutes. I've liquid cooled the CPU, used MSI afterburner to crank the fans up but still random reboots. When I ran the stress tests I had the fans in default mode, when I play the game ive tried that and manually cranked them to 100% no difference.

so frustrating. I cant play for more then 30 minutes usually. totally ruins it.

During the stress test the PSU was pulling ~350 watts. when playing Elite it pulls around ~275.

Hmmmm....

Thanks for the replies

Elite is not very taxing to GPU/CPU. (fps issues mostly come from engine problems not from a weak gpu/cpu)
Make sure you do-not-overclock your CPU or GPU or MEM, put your hardware on standard clocks as this is one of the most frequent reasons for such crashes.

It is almost certainly not DK2 related, DK2 is just a program, a service and a full HD display. That does not cause a crash.

I'm now having this issue. I've tried going back to monitor and played for a while with no issues, but when using the rift it seems to random crash hard/reboot.

I've run stress benchmarks to make sure I wasn't overheating or overdrawing my power supply, all worked just fine.

Everything was working great, the only thing I can think of that was a turning point was after upgrading to 0.6.0.0 then rolling back to 0.5.0.1. Prior I had never had a crash. After that upgrade it started crashing on me.

I try disabling the autoreboot part.
