No graphics output
The PC I`m using meets the specs for running my HP Mixed Reality Headset which arrived today.
The Mixed Reality Portal works fine, it tracks the movements of the MR Headset, I even have sound coming out of it when earphones are plugged in. But there are no graphics coming out of it.
Initially I encountered challenges because the GeForce 970 I`m using has a single mini-HDMI 2.0 output. I brought a mini-HDMI to HDMI connector to get around this to begin with. No joy because I had to choose between monitor or MR Headset when trying to configure it and the headset gave no graphics output.
So then I took a spare HDMI cable and used it to connect my integrated graphics with the Monitor thinking I could see what I was doing with the MR Headset onscreen. The Mixed Reality Portal worked fine with that but still no graphics coming out of the MR Headset.
So I have reduced it down to either:
1. Faulty headset.
2. The mini-HDMI to HDMI connector wasn't good enough.
3. Integrated graphics being used at the same time as dedicated graphics stops the MR headset from working.
I have a mini-display port to HDMI cable coming, a female to female HDMI connector that states it can handle 18gps at 4k coming, and I am hoping one of these will fix it. I dont want to buy a new graphics card with 2 x full sized HDMI sockets on in case that isn't the problem.
Advice please?

Make sure you are using an Active Mini-display port to HDMI adapter cable.... I had similar issues with the cheaper adapters, I bought a Club CAC 1170 and my blank screen issues resolved.... hope this advice helps.. Let me know....

Ok so I have my cable and I have graphics!
At least for about 30 secs then the headset goes blank.
All running fine! The 30 seconds before blackout was a loose USB 3.0 socket.
