The NVMe is fine and Windows is on it.

As I said, I already tried that and holding the power btn 30s while battery is unplugged.

It's not. I tried an external monitor and it still didn't power on. If the screen cable would be loose. it would still boot into Windows right?

I have Redmibook Pro 14 AMD 6800H. When I turn on the laptop, the fans spin, the kb backlight lights up, the caps lock led is on but no screen. I tried unplugging the battery and holding power button for 30s but no effect. Do you have any idea? The kb backlight turns off after 30s and turns back on if I press a key which means the motherboard isnt shorted right?

OVHCloud has charged my credit card $500 for a $15/mo server that I quit using years ago. Apparently it was a bug in their system. Usually if you don't renew a server with OVH, they'll just expire after 15 days. My account was "bugged" so the server I stopped 4 years ago didn't get deleted. I got this email: So basically I have to pay because of their bug? Their panel said it was expired. Oh and that's only one of many experience with them. Their Canadian subdinary is "fine". Tickets get resolved in a timely manner. Their Europe subdinary is awful. Tickets take weeks or even months to get resolved. Here are "some" of my bad experience: I use Wireguard to have an internal network between my servers (vRack isn't available to all their ranges). Their system detected Wireguard traffic as "DDoS", so my server was suspended for "DDoS'ing" my other server from the SAME account. I called them and they said it was a false positive, they "forwarded" the request to get my server unsuspended and whitelist Wireguard traffic. One week later they unsuspend my server and tell me that I shouldn't have issues anymore. One day later, server gets suspended again for the same thing. So I call again and repeat the process. My server was down a WHOLE month due to that. No refund, no credit, nada. When OVH launched their US DC, an additional IP was $10 one time fee, so I got $400 worth of IPs along with a dedicated server which was advertised at $159. When came the time to renew it, the invoice was $270 rather than $159 so I opened a ticket, they said it was an error and they'd fix it ASAP. They assured me the server wouldn't get suspended while they work on the issue. Well, one week later, server was deleted and I lost all the IPs I had paid. No refund, no credit, nada. I still have the whole ticket if you'd like to see it, DM me. Bugs like pressing "renew" would return error 500. At one point, I had to call each month so they generate an invoice so I can renew my servers. Many more! You may have a good experience in Canada, but in EU it's just awful. Support isn't even 24/7 and average response time is one week, I've seen some take over a month. You just can't host anything critical with them. They seem to have serious management issues to take 5 years to fix a bug as serious as the bug I mentioned above.

What was the new screen tech LTT showcased a few weeks ago? It was almost as good as OLED.

I currently have a Samsung Odyssey G7 and I'm tired of it. It's plugged into an AV receiver so I have to turn the monitor off each time as it won't sleep. But half the time it won't turn back on, LEDs will turn on but screen won't until I unplug it from outlet and plug it back. It also takes like 10s for it to turn on and it's annoying. I'll just sell it on craigslist so I'm looking for a new one. I mostly watch movies and work on it. I rarely game so I don't really mind about the refresh rate. I just want movies to look good and have deep blacks. Budget is around $1000, 27-32", Canada. Any recommendations?

As a follow up to: I ordered a smart outlet and set it up in my homeassistant. I created a webhook to turn it off/on and made a powershell script to call it. I now need to figure out how to setup Windows so it calls the script when it's inactive and turn it back on when there's activity. There don't seem to be any event that covers that in task scheduler. How can I achieve that?

I used to do that. HDMI for audio to my AVR then Dp to my monitor, but I'd like to move my PC in another room but 2 cables would be kinda dumb just to get audio. Dem fiber cables ain`t cheap

I'd rather stick to HDMI as I have a 15M fiber cable and I'd like to avoid having another one. Maybe there's a module to extract audio? I found some but it's SPDIF. Would need HDMI audio out..

Already tried that but SPID seems to be stereo only, no 5.1 support?

I bought a Yamaha RX-V4A to use with my PC. I have a Samsung G7 as a monitor. If I plug my monitor and PC into my AV receiver, then wait for my PC to go to sleep, my monitor will constantly turn off and on until I power on my PC again. I haven't found a way to fix that. There is an HDMI Standby Through parameter in my receiver's setting but it seems to have no effect. Any tips to get that fixed?

I just found out that GPU Z reports 0mb vram. RAM modules might be dead

I reinstalled Windows so yeah,

I only have the GPU, not the desktop. Yes, it stopped working randomly. Getting BIOS for OEM cards is hard. Not listed on techpowerup.
