PICO 4 problems with Virtual Desktop

I've had a Pico 4 for around 4 weeks and used it with Virtual Desktop with no issues until the last 24 hours. I launch VD, go in to MSFS and after short while the VR freezes then disconnects. The sim is still running on my PC.
If I try and relaunch VD, it starts to play the launch music then just black screen with the loading circle.
Has anyone got any ideas as to what might cause this?

I only use MSFS. VD app doesn't launch at all after crash. Reinstalled both PC and P4. Also tried wired and wireless.

Does the headset get hot before a crash?

No. Everything seems to be running fine then the image freezes. If the sim has stuttered previously I have still had audio in the P4 and it would reconnect.
However over the last day, it freezes, audio switches to PC and P4 either blacks out or just hangs. If I try and relaunch VD, I either get black screen with P4 circle and/or the launch music of VD then nothing.

Sounds like a PC issue, is your specs OK?

When doing through VD try leaving it default, turn down the quality setting by 1 to try it (1 below the gpu you have) I have a 3090 but I use high not ultra for example

Will give this a go. I'm on 4080 and 5800X3D
