While I was playing Chronos on Oculus Rift screen went blank. Unresponsive. But sounded like everything was running. Tried other games and they launch fine but once I leave the menu screen it goes black again. Even happens on Left 4 Dead 2!

I ave had this PC for a few months now and have be using VR for some time as well.

Nvidia GTX 980
850 Watts PSU
16GB RAM
i5-6500

Please could anyone help?!?!

OK! I SOLVED this. All research of screen going blank kept leading people to say it was most likely a PSU issue or possibly a GPU issue across multiple forums/websites. Which would have sucked ass cause I just built this monster.

Anyhoot researching another issue which was a warning sign to this issue SCREEN GOING BLACK FOR A MOMENT lead to other probable causes. Mainly a monitor cable. I recently bought a cheap display to hdmi cable on Amazon.

So I ran LFD2 and it loaded then went blank. My screen LED indicator was telling me it was receiving a signal. SO I unplugged the cable from the monitor (LED went red) plugged it back in and and screen turned back on. Tried battlefield 1 and my Oculus rift and everything is good again.

I hope this thread helps someone on the verge of replacing their PSU or GPU for the same issue!
