Issues with Asus P9X79 experiencing "No VGA Detected" and Oculus Rift showing black displays are becoming more common.
I wondered if humidity might have played a role. The computer sits near the foot of my bed, and during these rainy winter mornings our room reaches humidity levels up to 65% in the morning, with a temperature of 19° Celsius. I often played for about an hour between 7am and 8am after my wife was getting the kids ready for school. I believed the problems might be linked to short circuits caused by condensation.
I suspect that living with five people in the house, three of whom are growing rapidly, and the increasing wet winters we’re experiencing here in the UK, have contributed to higher humidity readings—especially in the bedrooms. In the study I’m currently in, it’s only 40%.
I considered this after schools resumed in September, when I began playing Flight Sim in the mornings and the issues appeared shortly afterward.
A small update. I am STILL waiting on a new cable from Oculus. I thought I would turn the pc on so that Windows wouldn't get out of date, suddenly it won't POST again! This time it's the boot device LED that's illuminated! I'm not overly shocked, I feel like these boards are garbage and the replacement board was obviously a lot older as it was running a very old BIOS that didn't even support my cpu. I don't see how it's broken without even being turned on. At this point I'm at a loss of how to spend my money, so I'm just not gaming any more.
I believe you're correct about the humidity issue. After stopping the etherium mining, I used the asus p9x70-e ws board with all its PCIe slots for the PC. The setup performed well until I turned it off because power costs no longer justified mining returns on other coins. During that winter, my house was quite humid, and a few years later it's the same—board is making the same beeps, including that final one in any slot. That last beep is puzzling because it seems to keep going even though it shouldn't. The PSU is an ax1200, and I'm trying the 9500GT GPU; my CPU is an xeon that works perfectly with it. The heatsinks on the board are still very hot after it's been trying to post. I also lost a few GPUs around that time, including my 3090.
