Ok, so new power supply came in and the same issue is present.
I noticed at times I could leave it sit perfectly still on my desk, and it would stay with the display on. After a few moments the display would go to sleep as it should. I’d gently tap it and the screens would wake up. It worked this way for hours. I could turn on SteamVR and it’d stay in the white default steam background and would seem to last a long time. As soon as a launch a game, such as Elite Dangerous, the displays will shutdown with 30-60 seconds and the LED turns red. Diagnostics in PiTool indicate that everything is fine and connected. Reviewing the logs it does report an error so hopefully the Pimax support team will review them and get back to me on my support ticket. Going on 2 days and no word yet at all. I’m losing optimism that it’s the cable and not something internal to the unit. Sometimes when it goes out it flicks on and off, and when it’s behaving that way I get white sparkles like what I’ve seen others describe, and what I believe was rectified with just a new cable.

Try unplug all USB devices and only the bare minimum remain. Try different USB ports.

I did that today and still no dice. Only thing plugged into the PC, other than the Pimax, was a single monitor and keyboard/mouse.
Someone responded to my support ticket, but only suggested that I try unplugging and plugging back in the connections, despite me writing in the support ticket the various things that I tried. 
whats the results of this?

No updates yet. I did have an extra cable sent (outside of the direct Pimax support ticket system) but had to run out of town on business I return late tomorrow and will be testing the cable.

If you have another cable, you could try it, if not, we could send another replacement cable for you.
If you try another cable, it is still fail, please give us your SUP number.
We could arrange a remote session for you.
Please let me know your request.

Hi Sean
The problem was the cable, I did acquire another cable via Kevin and it appears to have solved the problem. I hope the Pimax team is able to apply pressure to the cable supplier to shore up the quality problems. I also hope we are able to purchase extra cables soon because I definitely want a spare.

I also have the same problem and opened up a support ticket. How fast was your turnaround time from when you cut a ticket to getting your replacement cable?
Which headset did you recieve? Backer or pre order?
I’m a backer from Kickstarter; 5k+
