GPU prices just jumped ~19% across the EU in a single month, I tracked the same 176 models daily for 30 days to prove it wasn’t cherry-picked data

by

I run a EU PC hardware price tracker, 25+ stores across 9 countries, and wanted to check: are GPU prices actually rising, or does it just feel that way?

Weird issue: OLED monitor prevents system booting, unless it's switched off during the initial boot, any ideas why?

by

Got a new OLED monitor, and my PC wouldn’t start anymore. It’d power on - all the lights came on etc. - but nothing would happen and the monitor would go into standby after a few seconds, saying there was no signal. I have a program I use for remote access via my phone, so I’d check that to see if the PC actually made it into Windows or not, but it didn’t. Plus tapping the power button would switch off the PC again instantly, as opposed to having to hold it down like normal, so it seems it didn’t get past stage 1 of bootsville.
