I just bought the Vive few days ago, installed everything and tested some games, and everything is fine.
But today when my son was in the middle of a VR game, the Monitor just turned off (no Signal) and the Headset also turned off. I had to reset my PC.

Now I am asking you to help me for the best Settings for the VR to avoid any future issues as much as possible, related to my Hardware, wich are as follows:

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/apalace/saved/QydjXL
- AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor
- Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard
- G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
- Western Digital - Black 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
- Asus - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Dual Video Card

So what should I Change in the nVidia Settings, and the Steam/SteamVR Settings also?
I appreciate any comment trying to help me out on this thread. And I am not advanced into this, I am a beginner and had the Headset just few days ago as I mentioned.

Thanks!

I haven't changed any Nvidia or Steam VR settings, just the options in the game menu's but TBH I'm fairly new to VR myself. Maybe try lowering settings to see if the monitor/headset shutdowns stop or happen less. If it does keep happening I would look at the Windows Error Reporting log.

I own the Oculus but make sure your GPU drivers and VR drivers/firmware is up to date (probably via Vive App or website).
