  1. So i've been watching this thread for the last few weeks as surprise surprise I have had the same grey screen after usually an hour of play and then the headset disconnected completely and the usual way to get passed this is disconnecting the battery for a second and plugging it back in. However i've recently changed something that i don't think has been mentioned think so far, apologies if i'm wrong. Since this change i've not had a disconnect like before and barely any grey screens and its been about a week since I did this. I'm fortunate to have a SLI capable motherboard, so two slots for graphics cards, which i know not everyone will have, but I upgraded to a new case so rearranged my PCI-E cards (RTX 1080 & Vive Wireless Card). They used to be next to each other in the slots closest to the CPU. But now, I have the Vive Wireless card next to the CPU slot and then the GPU card now at the bottom of the motherboard furthest away from the CPU. As we know the Wireless card is pretty CPU hungry so what i believe my set up is providing is the PCI lanes controlled by the CPU to control the HTC Wireless Card, and the Chipset PCI lanes on the Motherboard to control the graphics card hopefully giving both cards more bandwidth and i'm wondering if this is why I now am not seeing the issues I had before. Only time will tell if others will find this provides a fix but I hope people find this helps as I have found it has for me. Please let me know if anything I have said isnt accurate or if i'm wrong and just dreaming this up. For context I had the issues with grey screen and disconnects on my vive and vive pro headsets alike until I did this change.
