Anyone elses PC crash sometimes using PSVR2?

[Raging Beard]

Had 3 hard crashes last few days, only when running PSVR2. No issues with my other headsets.

Lower your resolution.

VR games on my PSVR2 has been overheating my GPU, compared to my HP Reverb G2.

Well interesting you say that, after one of the crashes even my case was very warm to the touch!
Something is not right though, I mean I run the Crystal at a higher resolution and never have a problem at all. PSVR2 should be no trouble (4090 & 13900k).
Of course the same is true for you and the G2, hopefully it's an issue that will get ironed out with a firmware update...

This fixed it for me. Steam is automatically setting the resolution to 3200+ when the headset is 2040. Before it would heat everything until it bluescreened.

You might want to go in your case and make sure all your fans are running? A computer should throttle before it actually turns off.

Theres an open source app called Fan Control that i uave started using and its pretty great setting up fan curves.

I think the problem is too high temperature in the case.
And because of this, one of the devices on the motherboard or graphics card terminates. Not just the gpu or cpu.

Well it's hard to overheat a 4090 since the heatsinks were overbuilt. It's normal for hardware of that class to heat up the entire computer. The system has half the power draw of some space heaters.

It sounds more like your CPU is having issues. Look up Intel 13/14 gen instability problems.

Keep in mind you aren't then actually running at native resolution, you are under sampling. The higher resolution shown in SteamVR is due to catering for barrel distortion. It's the same for all headsets, the resolution shown at 100% will always be higher than the actual resolution of the headset, it needs to be in order to achieve a true 100%.

@Raging Beard:
Do you have hyperthreding enabled in bios? Yesterday someone wrote that it helped.
