Cool fact: removing and replacing components while a machine is running is called "hot swapping" and some machines, like large servers, are specifically designed to support this.

I didn't know it thank u
That's how big companies like Google maintain their servers.
this is how u mod original xbox using hot swapping
Fun fact, the reason why the system remained functional for a moment after he removed the SSD is because everything had already been loaded from the SSD onto the RAM so Windows just goes to the RAM instead of calling from the SSD. However, as these systems began requiring the SSD to be called again, they one by one tried to call and failed, thus stopping responding and eventually crashing the whole system. It's really cool!
That is cool!
I wonder what would happen on a boot from ram system
Yes❤❤❤ these pc s and technology in general is so interesting...i mean everything from how they work to how they move transfere data..its so mind-blowing ❤❤❤🎉

With the GPU, I'm curious what would have happened if you plugged the monitor back into the integrated graphics before resetting.
Exactly. Seems very important. Would be hard to manually set your display, but wonder if detection would work.
Detection often works auto. (I've done this several times.) Most systems just throw your graphics back to integrated and changing the cable back usually just triggers the screen to detect the new output.

Having dealt with a failing HDD in a laptop, I knew 100% what would happen with removing the storage. It would slowly fail, then restart. And the storage device might be acting all fine and like nothing happened for a bit before doing it again. At least that one is somewhat simple to diagnose if you can see the fact you have no storage device attached before the computer fails.

You should've also moved the DVI cable from the GPU back to onboard to see if the system swapped over when the AMD GPU was pulled out.
SSDs can be taken out and moved around as long as the running operating system isn't on it. I have external top loading port on my computer specifically for this, however, similar to a flash drive, you should tell the computer to "eject" it first. Also, I found on some machines you can swap video cards if you to specifically tell the computer to disable the port first, swap, then re-enable the port, but you do need integrated graphics to be able to see what you're doing, plus if I'm not mistaken, there's a shortcut key combination to reboot the graphics card. Although I don't know if that works after having pulled and re-plugged the card while it's running, but as far as I know, removing the graphics card while it's running doesn't always crash the entire computer. You could of tried moving the video cable back to the integrated graphics port to see if the computer was still running.
This is true. SATA technically IS hot swappable, but you want to avoid doing it to a drive that’s actively being read or written. Like you said, if it’s just storage, you can usually swap those no problem.

2:50 the CPU doesn't need to do any recovery work, as that doesn't even exist. Windows will automatically boot into Repair mode if you forcefully shutdown your PC 2-3 times in a row.

I was looking for a comment like this, as this was verry jarring to me while watching the video.
Idiots still saying the hardware doing software works. This comment deserve more likes than the misinformation video.
Well, technically speaking, the CPU would need to do recovery work, just not recovering the cpu itself, but windows recovery. I think you misunderstood that, tho, yes he could have made it more clear.

I vaguely remember with some ISA bus systems in the 80s, it was possible to remove some types of cards from the system and if the OS or a program wasn't trying to address any part of it at the time you did that, the system wouldn't notice you'd done that and keep chugging along. Of course it still expected those resources to be present and so the next time it tried to use them it would crash.

The CPU wasn't the reason the blue "advanced recovery" screen popped up. The reason behind this was the PC was shutdown incorrectly 3 times. Windows keeps logs of this in event viewer and checks to make sure everything is okay 👍
I still find it a bit clunky that, since the removal of the legacy f5(?) menu, this three-interrupted-sessions mechanism is actually the quickest way to get into advanced startup options and the RE if you don't have or can't boot external installation media.
Edit - f8? It's been so long since regular w7 work that I just can't remember the procedures any more.
@@boiledelephant Try holding shift while clicking restart
@@altashiro I'll bear that in mind next time a customer's computer won't boot up at all 😂
Everything was in fact not okay
That what I was saying when I saw the cpu removal
I did this when i was younger and thought plug and play meant you can just pull components out, so i did that with the 65k internal modem. Was never the same afterwards, but still worked.
I wouldn't be surprised if you started having memory errors.
Thanks for getting to the point fast and not making half the video an intro like all of TH-cam.
That SSD removal actually concluded some pretty interesting results:
- The background didn't disappear immediately, but after 2 or 3 seconds after the removal.
- The mouse and K/B work just normally. // means that the code that controls those must be loaded in the RAM
- The desktop icons followed. // makes me think it does some sort of cycling of the drive to check what it's supposed to show on the screen.
- When it finally decided to completely break, it showed a BSOD. // means that it can find the BSOD screen and code in the RAM (or maybe even VRAM?) would love to know the crash code it gave.
Now, what I really want to see you do is remove the SSD, and immediately reseat it. My hypothesis is that on the next "search cycle" the computer will notice that "Hey, everything's okay now, that was just an anomaly", and continue operating normally.
"CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" is the error in the BSOD
PLEASE, LET THAT BLUESCREEN ERROR ALONE, IT WAS A PAIN FOR ME TO FIND OUT THAT MY CPU WAS BROKEN
That immediately reinsert part is true for when I tried it with macOS but I didn’t try windows yet so I still have to do that
Yeah I too think it will start working fine in most parts, though some areas may be corrupt till next restart
the bsod might also be saved in the bios chipset, but idk

0:53 The reason re-plugging in the RAM doesn't fix the problem is that RAM requires power to store data so by powering off the system or removing the memory you're effectively wiping it.
There was ram that was semi non volatile for desktops at one point.
The component is expensive so I don't suggest doing it, but science.

When you stand back and think about it waht you say is a understatement it's bloody amazing it got this far in less then 20 years
'have you tried turning it off and on again?'
Honestly am amazed, it's not even designed to be hot swappable like commercial grade hardware for servers etc, our computer design and technology has come a long way to be that unexpectedly robust.
now try it on a hard drive.

Now THIS is my style of learning. Productively breaking things to understand them
As long as no parts are broken in the process, none of this should have any worse effects than suddenly taking e.g. power away. Some writing actions might not be finished in persistent storage, Aka hard drive, and lead to some corrupted files and data. However, modern systems are usually rather robust to this, by e.g. writing down instructions to undo a change before actually doing it. This way, everything can be repaired just fine.
Yeah. The so called damage he warned about is much more likely to happen from physically breaking components since it can be difficult to manipulate a computer while it’s plugged in to a workstation. I learned this the hard way from trying to be clever, temporarily unplugging my backup drive in case a sketchy application gave me ransomeware.
Removing PC parts while its running is like the surgeon removing your organs while you're still awake. So please don't do it.

The visual glitches when removing the RAM happen due to the fact that the integrated graphics were being used. Integrated graphics use the computer RAM as video memory, so once you unplug the RAM sticks, the video memory will be gone, so the screen will start flickering.
Removing RAM in a computer with a dedicated GPU should have a different effect, since the video memory will still be set, so probably the graphics will be frozen, but the computer will stop responding.
Yup, can confirm. That's exactly what happens
Advantage of Integrated Graphics, as it shows the ram removing patterns
@@mithunlaha1991 Yeah, it was interesting to see how the picture was interleaved on the two RAM sticks in a checkerboard fashion.

CPU removal needs to be done without it being used as the display driver (integrated graphics). So we can see what the pc does on screen by using the GPU. I'm not saying it would return to working order but it would be interesting to see what happens on screen.
Most likely it would go black instantly, as all graphic data is still managed by the CPU. At least on knowledge I have on computers. Or at least the picture would freeze as I don't believe there's any direct logical connection between graphics and peripherals.

i gotta say, this has made me feel a lot less worried about working on a pc. Was always terrified some part would just brick if you did a single wrong thing, or installed it a little off or anything
i mean you still have to be careful, I heard of lots of cases when the parts or mainboard just got fried due to that
It can vary from case to case I think
it would still causing short circuit
dude same
I mean, if you install a CPU "a little off" you could bend the pins(either on the CPU or the Socket depending on the type), it IS fixable, but usually just treated as bricking the part since it's so finicky to get them all right again.
when I was repairing my pc after my PSU went out, I was trying to figure out why my SSD wasn't being detected, so I look in my pc and I saw the SATA cable was not plugged in. stupid me decided to plug it in with the pc on and a few seconds later the cable went up in smoke. it destroyed my SSD lol.

I was REALLY hoping that after removing the gpu, you would reconnect the display cable to the mother board..
So true so mothafucking true
I was hoping too.
I think this is very relient on windows, I guess you could decide how it would react on linux.
But u know windows was not expecting custommers to... well.. unplug essential components from their computers. So my bet is that it would still be a black screen. (that would mean that they have a script that reacts to the gpu not answering anymore)
Wouldn't change anything. The system actually stopped working as soon as the GPU was unplugged, because that's how WDDM is supposed to work. The device becomes inaccessible, which causes the GPU driver's frame buffer to enter a possibly infinite loop of waiting, then Windows kernel sees what's happening and terminates the whole system with stop code 0xEA (THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER).
@@klimmesil9585 Has nothing to do with scripts and Windows vs Linux but with the way BIOS and UEFI work. While there is an option for hotswapping PCIe, both the GPU, PCIe chipset/CPU lanes and BIOS/UEFI need to actively support it, be configured to do hotswapping and be prepared before removing the GPU.
Linux would also just crash as part of a memory space is suddenly gone and various PCIe registers are now corrupted, effectively locking the system out of controlling itself, regardless of Linux or Windows is desperately trying to keep things running...
TH-cam reads my mind. Yesterday I thought about this exact thing and I get recommended this
My first ever intro to Linux, happened in a network lab at college, (TAFE) and the lecturer went to show us a packet sniffer, but something didn't work, so he stopped the network service and de-powered the network card (this was March 1995 ~ no onboard networking then) and replaced it with a different one, then restarted the network service. I knew it wasn't DOS because a Microsoft machine would have crashed. I asked if it was UNIX, because that's what it looked like. He told me it was called Linux, and it was a bit like a back-yard version of UNIX. It was Slackware headless, in March '95. I have never ever seen anybody repeat that particular stunt ~ but I became a huge Linux fan right then and there.
Kinda disappointed you didn’t take out the ram while the GPU was on to see how it would affect it when not relying on the integrated graphics
I second this. It would have been interesting to see what patterns, if any, would have developed in doing that because the screen's framebuffer is in VRAM on the GPU instead of system RAM.
the same will happpen since gpu drivers are loaded into the ram.
@@Servidor_Publico_do_Ancapistao that's a good point, this fact totally slipped my mind!
@@Servidor_Publico_do_Ancapistao So you can safely say that patterns are caused by drivers and not something else? Especially since not all of RAM was disconnected at first
Another nice thing would be to check whether the integrated graphics (and the rest of the system) were still operating fine when the discrete GPU got removed

You should have tried everything with a gpu in. The integrated gpu depends on the ram but a discrete gpu does not. And when you remove the cpu you are also removing the gpu as well
Also have thought about that.
would still shit itself, the moment the addresses stored in the ram are no longer there the system doesnt know what to do and crashes
Right? Removing the CPU will have the same effect as removing the GPU at that point so it would be boring
Hell yes, i really wanted to know this :(
Good point.
Fun fact: the display losing it's pixels with the ram removal was because the computer was using Internal Graphics, which is built into the CPU. VRAM (Video Ram) is used for video display and usually comes built into Graphics cards, however the CPU doesn't have this built in so the computer uses system RAM as a compromise. You would probably get a different result if you were using the GPU during the RAM removal.
when u unplug the only ssd the memory in the ram will stay up, u can also plug and unplug the non main hdd or ssd without it doing anything
I feel as tho many people don't understand when you unplug vital components to a live PC, way more is happening that you would think, for example critical registry files are probably changed and could make a difference of a malfunction or not
I removed my ram stick while the computer was on luckily it had a fail safe feature and it just shut off. I got scared hooked everything back up and looks like we’re ok. I hope nothing was damaged 😅
Why tho
genius!
@Morworld Or he temporarily took his computer somewhere else first, which would actually be even worse.
@Morworld "bruh" things can occur before a video is released
@Game Plays 1230 isn't it stored on a seperate chip?
SSD removal actually looks scary cus that's how an Alzheimer's patients suffers and you can see that.
@@bxlmusic1054 obviously
😂
@@bxlmusic1054 not really but metaphorically yes.
Thats stupid. Thats like saying eating a piece of bread is the same as an alzheimers patient therefore is scary because "it progressively loses itself"
@@bxlmusic1054 a stupid one, at that
Bro it's a joke, have you no sense of humor
Thanks for the video!
@1:00, RAM is using electrical current to hold the information. If you stop the electricity in-flow to the RAM component, the information is wiped clean. Re-inserting it would not fix anything, because the data is dead.
It’s like removing a human’s brain and putting it back in
Every time he removes a component, his PC be like *"Ight Imma Head Out"*
It's bed time

The only thing that's take "safe" to unplug while the PC is running is secondary drives, preferably SSDs. Just like portable hard drives, though there are some differences.
NOT TRUE
it comes down to this......
IS THERE COMMUNICATION OCCURRING BETWEEN A COMPONENT, RAM AND CPU
if the answer is YES, it's not safe to remove
if the answer is NO.. then it's safe to remove
You can still have a secondary HARD DRIVE but it's still communicating
it can be a floppy drive , it can be an Optical drive, it can be a TAPE DRIVE, Makes no difference,
if a session exists between the device and the CPU you shouldn't remove it
again.. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAFELY REMOVE USB...
it terminates the current session in place
@@martinkuliza true, that is more in depth of a description
@@YuThinkUrCool True, But it's a description most people need to be aware of .
at the end of the day computers have fail safe's for the stupidity of humans but... it can only go so far
after which point you just lose data
Even for the USB drive, there is option to "safely unplug".
But audio/keyboard/... jacks are pretty safe
@@Fera-gr5mm
that's because data loss cannot occur
if it's a speaker it will generally have an ANALOG audio Jack (a digital Session does not exist)
in some cases you can get USB speakers that establish a digital session , but
1. this is rare
2. there is no data lost only a session that drops outs of sync, to which restart will fix it
if it's a keyboard of mouse
again... communication session is lost but no actual data is lost because it is defined as AN INPUT DEVICE
if it's not transmitting information it doesn't matter
Thats a PC screaming in pain and confusion as you tear part of its brain out
Dave, I can feel my mind going
