Old computer running for 15/16 years and is still fine
My 3 year old laptop is on life support
shiftman52 😂😂😂
Because you a actualy use it
I don't think it was running for so long. Rather some other visitor turned it on...
They don't make'm like they used to.
Old Windows = Reliable
There is probably a Nokia phone in there somewhere with 99% battery
lmfaoooooo
lmaoooo
I laughed way to hard at this comment 😂😂 ...and I wouldn’t doubt it either, those things were beasts!
No, nowadays those old NiMH batteries last maybe a day or a few hours
lmfao
Power bill hasn't been paid in decades: power still on.
I miss one bill: disconnected
the government pays the electric bill to keep away intruders and scrappers
@@NathanCE makes sense. Also read if they shut it off and go to turn it back on, it would have to be brought back up to code
Riiiiight!! Haha
It's more than likely just forgotten about. They wouldn't leave power on to kill scrappers. It was hardlined electrical and it was simply forgotten about
But yeah that is the truth. We sure can't miss a single payment lol
You know that computer has been running 24/7 for so long when you can hear the bearings in the fans screaming meters away.
But gotta love good old Windows 98. Asks for a password, you click cancel and it logs you in anyway.
You have no idea how happy I felt when you shut it down. That poor computer needed a break :)
I love watching these kinds of videos but I am always left sad, I hate seeing things broken or neglected.
Hi Hugh, I came to this video after your Instagram story 😃
Came here after your insta story aha
You sent me here 🤣
If I was them I would take that computer and its gear and lookafter it
That's how Win98 worked. The password only got you to network resources. Clicking Cancel gave you the entire local system.
Just imagine walking around there in the dark and then all of a sudden hearing "You've got mail".

546 new updates required
That poor computer has been running for years faithfully
Its probably been updating by itself on self updates. Imagine going to use it and its faster than any computer you have used lol
if its really run the whole time then now it is dead, most times as long at is running it will run but turn of the power and let everything cool down most times that the end for the hardware and it won´t turn on again
The LOrd
This was most likely turned on by the proper people. There has to of been at least a few power outages since the hospitals closure and computers dont turn on after power failures. If there was miraculously no power outages and it did manage to run all these years most of the computer hardware would of been long dead.
It has to be self aware by now
Power is on, wires are out, and there is water everywhere. This is some high risk shit gentlemen...
don't forget the tons of chemicals... yeah
Water, Electricity, Chemicals, Fungal Growth, Chem users... you name it, that place sure got it all
I wouldn´t touch anything what is metalic (that dentist chair). Breaker or not, it would hurt (and who knows if the breaker would work).
Fidneus Diller Outlet is dc. And water has a lot of resistance. Don’t be such an idiot
I used to have sword fights with florescent bulbs full of mercury in a warehouse no worries
Finding a computer still running almost feels like the holy grail of an exploration like this
i know right
It is so tempting to take it home lol
You guys were very respectful of this place. If it were me, I would’ve delved through that whole computer looking for secrets. I certainly wouldn’t have given up on that sterilizing machine... and I absolutely would’ve let my buddy perform a lobotomy on me in that operation room.
Yesss

@@il-dottore I live near a HUGE hospital. They run a ton of different operating systems. Windows 7 and 10, and their own Linux based system were the ones I saw. I guess they are kept around for specific softwares that can run on them.
That computer can finally rest. Goodnight little guy. You were working hard abandoned and forgotten in the dust and rubble.
Image briefly if computers had feelings... Imagine what it would be thinking as it was rebooted.
Now I kinda wish someone would find it a better home or at least service the fans and clean it.
@Adam Kuhn If you do, upload it's journey, that's some views right there.
Go there and rescue that machine
@Dmitry difference is that processors work by saying yes/no according to requirements, while the human brain is kind of in a superposition, which means it can decide
@Dmitry no because human brains are uncertain, thats what superpositipn means. it passes trough a "filter", and it becomes a 1 or a 0, while computers dont work with superpositions they only have yes/no, and no maybe's. this is why robots arent conscious

Be careful turning on the power in places like that. I once flipped on a light switch and the whole switch housing literally blew up. The housing went flying off in different directions. Come to find out, some wires were now touching things they shouldn't be and I just flipped the switch that made them short. Be careful out there!
That's scary dude
yo my man blew up a hause
You blew up my house. You’re laughing! My house is blown and you’re laughing.
Yeah the wisest move in urbexing is bring your own lighting.
Second wisest move is never turn anything on more than one light switch at a time, don't use your bare hands.
Arc flash is really dangerous, for real bro! Nice observation!
Anyone else take a moment to think about how long that computer could have been sitting there running?
No.

Going off the thumbnail, still watching while reading comments. Windows 98. Just hit escape. Pre NT based OS illusion of security
Imagine if those walls could talk. The pain and suffering that took place there must of been ungodly
There would be fleks of hope though as well. Sometimes these state hospitals were actually able to help people.
Lol omg they weren't all like the "Geraldo special" asylums. Some were also college campuses just like today, although there were labotomies performed at most which my grandparents never knew anyone who was labotomized EVER but they knew a couple ppl who received "shock treatment"
I actually knew a man who would be 72 if he were alive, who got shock treatment when he was a boy
Shock treatment was a legitimate therapy back in the day
Many old exit signs are made with tritium, a gas that is is contained in sealed glass tubes lined with a light-emitting compound. The tritium gives off low-energy beta radiation that causes the lining to glow. This type of radiation cannot penetrate a sheet of paper or clothing. That is why the exit signs are always the last to go.
This stuff is so neat !! It’s so that in the even of catastrophic power failure you can find the way out. It’s really neat.
Dr octopus needs it Harry Osborn is gonna give him all he needs if he captures Spider-Man
That’s what they put in night sights for pistols and stuff, but they still eventually run out. The half life of tritium is 12 years, so those lights are probably about 1/2 to 1/4 as powerful as they were originally. In a couple decades they won’t work anymore.
I'm not sure in wich exit signs they use tritium, but in one modern led model biclive took apart, there was just a tiny battery and a transformer. I think the real reason for them to go at last is that the light bulb, wich in a building this old is certainly an incandescent one, is because it is massively underrun. The bulb could probably take 180V easy, but it is only run by 120V if my guess is correct.
i have been binge watching a few of these videos, and wondered how they exit signs are always on.
Maybe there’s electricity because there’s a secret Russian lair deep down underneath trying to open up a door to another dimension

As someone with autism, these places always make me very uncomfortable. Just thinking that if I had been born a few years before I was I could have been sent to a place like this. We have come a long way in understanding mental issues and hopefully, we will continue to improve.
Quick note: places like this still exist around the world. And, people do still suffer. I am just happy it is not as common in my country anymore. But, we still have strides to make.
They still so this to gay people even in 1st world countries. Watching these videos makes me appreciate that I am in good mental health and am not in an abialist society!

Had reporter Bill Baldini in Philly not gone into Pennhurst in 1968 and reporter Gerado Riveria in NY not gone into Willowbrook in 1972 the world would still have these horrific asylums.
These two men changed how the world treats those with mental, intellectual and/or physical disabilities.

Thank you for sharing. I've got some reading to do.

I worked for a power company as the guy that turned on and off the power. Power on cuz of one of two reasons,
1 government funding and an oversight in payment / someone in government thinks that it is a hospital and may be needed in an emergency someday, so they keep paying the bill.
2 power company forgot to pull the power on such a large building that had power uninterrupted for almost 100 years, and now uses less power than a backyard shed, and probably still has a note on the account that it is to always have power and never turned off cuz hospital.
Also I Know of 3 more old hospitals that are still powered just like this. And one radio tower with nothing in it anymore that still has power cuz it was once part of the emergency broadcast network. Anything that is emergency has special notes on the account to never turn it off and to give it top priority to fix it's power if it ever loses power. The radio tower hadn't had anything in it since the 1990s and I was told to fix the power to it in a year 2017 after the unused meter broke from old age the day before.
This^. Thanks mate. Was curious as to whether this was plausible.
So the #1 makes sense (over paying). However is #2 basically so they are kept on as "warm spares" facilities basically so they could get them working in extreme situations with what's in it and resources they have at their disposal? Even though the buildings are way pass their primes?
@@rickytorres9089 liability. The electricity retail company doesn't tell the distributor that the site is not in use, and the distributor has it flagged as essential service so the distributor won't shut of the power unless the site is demolished and decommissioned.
@@rickytorres9089 yes in fact I have personally had to "fix" the power to a location where the building was gone and had been for some time. Also several " investigations " to the same address after as to find out why no power was being used after the "fix"
Thanks I was wondering how it was possible. Makes sense.
are we not gonna talk about the fact that the last paragraph in the letter near the end said not to write about incident reports in the charts or something because if you don’t then it isn’t a ‘discoverable document’ wtf was happening there
Fucked up shit
And they definitely wanted to keep it a secret from the public.
I'ma be real, that shit still happens today. A lot.
Anything and everything. When you stepped in to one of those asylums as a “patient” all humanity got stripped and you were treated like an animal and got tested on like a lab rat. It’s a sad and hard reality that only just scrapes the surface of how to explain these “hospitals”
I work in this field. That’s something plenty of healthcare providers abide by. The documentation, in this case the “progress note” can be a matter of public record. The incident report is an internal document. If you mention the IR in the progress note in a client’s EMR, it can then be discoverable and therefore subpoenaed in a lawsuit. It has nothing to do with torture or inhumane treatment. People were certainly mistreated in mental health hospitals, but this is really a matter of standard practice. 2002 was 18 years ago, not 180 years ago. Patients will try to sue hospitals for any slight reason.
Moloko ultra
The fact that there were still stuff in that freezer is spine-chilling so much equipment and documentation was left behind imagine what you could find out if you spent the time to read everything and look through everything
When you used the computer, I would have checked the dates of other files before opening them to see when was it last accessed. See if someone recently was in the building or was this PC running since 2002 the whole time :O
there is a file properties shot at around 18:08 where you can see last modified was a week after its creation in feb 2002

i mean honnestly no offense to the proper people but if your going to do this for a living, here are some tips.
1. Get a crew, depending on where your going.
2. do some research before going in
3. Alert local authorities nad request permission
4, Gather intel and provide to local authorities you have no idea how much that helps.
I understand the that the pitcure and film footage is amazing but your commentary honestly shows a lack of knowledge, there is one example in particular, you are trying to operate a sanitizer machine and are wondering how when the instrucion are right in front of you.
I enjoyed the footage i hope you take this under consideration.
THey went mental (no pun intended) when the cameras were off :)
why do people act like abuse in mental hospitals has ended. there is still a lot of verbal, emotional and sometimes even physical abuse that happens in these hospitals. there are a lot of blind spots and patient rooms dont have cameras. they dont help us there, only treat us like sick animals. speaking from experience
@@Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu finally someone gets it! they haven't changed at all
@@horselover7744 wym?
Umm ok yes there is still issues with mental help but that is mostly cause push comes to shove we still have little understanding. But the suffering now is still pretty different, they dont perform lobotomies now just to calm a patient down, ECT therapy is done in more controlled manners with lower current ratings and requiring far more knowledge and training to perform. no one acts like abuse has ended but its very different now cause medical malpractice has gotten in, there was I believe a hidalgo special where he visited an asylum where patients were stacking the halls, unclean soiled clothes, cared for just left to rot while the staff struggled to even find what way is up. Speaking as a high function autistic, when i would goto the behavioral science center in my town, it wasnt anything like the asylums of old.
@@compzac thanks for sharing some of your experience. I'm glad your experience was ok. I like to think that we are just in a constant state of "doing better than before" because of history. It sometimes feels like nothing changes, when really, things do change on a grand scale. Systemic progressive change for the good of humanity (IMHO) will never mean the end of abuse, sadly.
YOU NEED TO GIVE THE NAME OF THE PLACE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND NAMES OF ABUSERS, TO CALL THEM OUT, SO IT CAN BE INVESTIGATED. DON'T USE YOUR OWN REAL NAME, TO SERVE AS YOUR PROTECTION.

the noise for the pc was probably the fan's bearings gone xD amazed it was still alive!

Interacting fact. If a older hard drive doesn't see a read or right request with in 20sec it turns the platter moter off. Normally it's getting alot of read req when the os is running like normal but when the is crashes an is left for years un attended the hard drive turns off.

@STU-Christian Van Iten once a pc is started up and idling the capacitors almost wont take any abuse. However starting up a pc everyday will kill it, much more wear due to voltage spikes of starting up the cd player and hdd.
Also the hdd motor is happier to stay on or off instead of starting up all the time

The "soundproof booth" at 23:20 is a Farraday room. Shielded from EMC, the walls/floors/ceiling are all grounded. Very useful for electrical studies of brainwaves. The 9 1/2 floor at Belleview has a few of them that were created from walk-in freezers. The isolation or the studies would sometimes freak out patients and I can remember a few of them running down the hall with a electrodes trailing behind.

morristim1 I do hazmat and asbestos abatement for a living. You’re preaching to the choir here bud. I know quite a bit more about this mineral being born and raised in the home of asbestos mining and production in the US. Ever heard of Libby Montana? If you haven’t I’d suggest giving it a search. I’ve lived my daily life for years surrounded by asbestos from insulation to the mastic for tiles and about every other use they had for that nasty shit. When I say it was every where I mean it was fuckin everywhere.
Angry Beehive gas masks won’t do anything for asbestos they’ll need a full face respirator to be anywhere near effective and you really can’t just go by those respirators with a high quality nor would you want too for the price tag. The ones we use run almost 900.00. You can get a cheap shit one with a poor quality fit for like 100.00 off of amazon but I wouldn’t trust that. That’s just me though, many safety classes and seeing what asbestos can do to your lungs first hand is scary. High quality equipment is nothing short of a must when dealing with the shit.

I wanna know what's in the biohazard bag. 22:12
@@kylefrank638 Probably needles from injections or from blood tests, nothing ever cool is in biohazard bags.
30:10 That's an old autoclave, and I really, really, really wouldn't recommend turning any of those on in the future. They are essentially pressure cookers that get to much higher temperatures and pressures and can be quite dangerous, especially when they are wired directly into the building with no easy way of pulling the plug in an emergency. If you were to turn on one of those old units and something fails it could explode or start a fire. There PROBABLY aren't old rubber seals in the pressure chamber itself, because the clamping mechanism that holds the door shut looks like it's a metal-on-metal seal, but if there ARE 50 year-old rubber seals in there somewhere then those would likely have dry-rotted and could fail and violently decompress (boom). The thing I would really be worried about failing, though, would be something like a pressure gauge or old electronic control circuitry. You could get a situation where the machine starts the sterilization process, but then the pressure gauge is stuck and not registering the building pressure and so it just keeps building up until it explodes.
Also, If someone else goes there, grab one of those other keyboards that were laying around all over the place, that was extremely painful to watch. You could also bring in a Windows 98 compatible on-screen keyboard on a floppy and install it, if you were so inclined (I can't remember if Windows 98 accessibility settings had on-screen keyboard, yet.)
Kevin how do you know that stuff
Theflyingdog Because some people work with autoclaves, like me
@@conkcreet Used to work in medical, then recently have been working on starting a small commercial mushroom farm (and growing mushrooms is a lot like taking those cultures you grow on petri dishes in biology class and babying them under the most sterile conditions you can manage for 3 months or so until they spit out pounds of edible food). I don't own an autoclave, yet, but I know a fair bit about them. I've been using pressure cookers to sterilize equipment and agar, and I know that old rubber and crap pressure-release valves are a common cause of violent failure. For proof of the damage that even a cheap-ass pressure cooker can do, see the Boston marathon bombing. Then consider that an autoclave is essentially just a medical grade version of the same thing.
Kevin dont worry with the amount of asbestos it won’t burn down lmao

@@Dr-Random if you called the owners they would probably let you take it, they don't seem to care. And if may be illegal but it's not morally bad
Michał C. Yeah but there’s one small problem... I don’t know the number tho.
The device found @30:10 is an autoclave. TLDR: These are pressure cookers.
These are used to sterilize liquids and solids/tools. Often these reach up to 121 Degrees Celsius and 1 extra atmosphere of pressure (14.7 psi), however the PSI may vary based on the temperature's short comings.
The reason the device probably didn't work is the lack of steam from a boiler. The audible clicking noise is probably the disengagement/engagement of electronic solenoids used to prevent steam entrance or exit to the jacket chamber or main chamber.
Its probably for the best that this didn't work, since it doesn't look like you fully shut it. Additionally, the older machinery lacks safety mechanisms and could very well blow open when not fully shut. Even when not satisfactorily shut, these machines may vent steam out the front due to the high pressure. Unfortunately there is no guarantee this machine can take the extra 1-1.5 atmospheres of pressure and could explode after a long instrument lifetime (unlikely). Alternatively, if the boiler was working it could fill with boiling water and pour out.
Lastly, these machines are typically quite loud, since steam is being forced into the inner chamber at high pressure, or during the initial purge and later exhaust phase, when steam is moving out of the chamber.
I touched the back of my arm on an autoclave door, got a nice 1x1 inch hashbrown tan.
The autoclave I use is retarded and would definitely startup without water and probably explode. Im glad this autoclave had a safety or else they could have been in some danger.

After a few run-ins of my own with abandoned places with power I did some research and found out that Interestingly enough it's somewhat more cost effective to leave the electricity on? It deters people from breaking in and squating since there is the illusion that it isn't TRULY abandoned but it's also somewhat difficult to disconnect government owned properties from the grid apparently. Not only that but if they have any hopes of selling the building or buildings the fact that there is still electricity is a HUGE selling point and also helps keep the building in better condition. I went into a school that had shut down 10 years ago and they still have the heat running so that pipes don't burst and the walls/floors don't warp in the winter. Unfortunately though it's usually tax money funding this since they are government owned and not privately owned. Private homes and hotels are cut off since it's expensive but the government is usually like "hey we aren't the ones paying for it but it might benefit us so let's go for it"
Leaving the power on also ensures that fire alarms and emergency lighting systems are still working. This building was probably decommissioned rather than abandoned.
Electrical inspection on a place like that would be $$$$$ in order to get the power back on
No. Government and corporate buildings are all run on free energy, (etheric energy that comes from the air) that's why no one bothered to disconnect the power because it doesn't cost them anything so why bother? But we have to pay for power.
@@magicalhoof7431 bro
@@doddgarger6806 Not only that with power on it can stay on without an inspection. An inspection would just be the start it would fail and need work done before the power would be reconnected.
TL;DR - This computer was running since 2006 at most, but was most likely turned and left on by some scrapper or explorer at later time, and restarted itself due to an error or a power cut at some point.
I highly doubt that the computer was running since 2002, since it seems that it has been moved
(dust on the desk), and it had a printer connected at some point, which has not been seen anywhere near
(HP Deskjet 5700 Series icon on desktop, according to driver files on the internet the printer is from 2003/2004 time period).
At 18:00 a pop up comes on asking to scan for printer software update, so this thing has been connected to the internet at one point, but isn't now
(you can see that the modem/networking card at the bottom of the case has nothing plugged in).
When they first touched it the Norton Antivirus window came up with the last test dated 3/25/2019, however I'd suggest the scan was automatically set up to start at a specific time everyday or week.
The antivirus window covered the logon window for Windows Networking, which basically means that it was not logged on and the antivirus started anyway. This could mean that it restarted itself at some point or
the power went out as it was running (some computers are set up to restart at power loss automatically), but as some suggested Windows 98 automatically freezes after running continuously for 49 days, so
it either froze because of that, or because of some error it encountered during the time it was running there but for a shorter period.
The noise heard from the computer means it's either a fan bearing or a hard drive. It is possible that the hard drive survived after being turned on for a long time period, Windows is automatically set
to spin down hard drives after a period of inactivity unless the setting has been overriden by the administrator; the file system at 17:43 shows C:\NOVARTIS\My Documents, instead of the usual username, so
computers set up for specific facilities like this (Novartis is a pharmaceutical company according to Wikipedia) could have different system settings. Anyway, constant spinning for a hard drive does less
harm that turning it on and off repeatedly (unless the bearing on the motor wears out, but I've heard of people running consumer class hard drives for several years 24/7 with no harm, and this could be a business class hdd
designed to run for longer periods of time).
Here are some time stamps suggesting the time it was last used:
- SPSS 9.0 for Windows, a program used for data analysis, was released about 1999
- Adobe Reader 6.0 was released in July 2003 according to Wikipedia
- At 17:30, on the left there is a PDF (?) file with 2005 in the name
- At 17:11, a windows comes up that the time and date has been updated to Daylight Saving Time, so even if the CMOS battery was dead (which it should be after 10+ years), this computer still knows the time and date
while not being plugged into the internet, so either it really was plugged in the whole time and restarted due to power cut, or someone went in there and set it ubefore.
- The whole "FBI has your file scam" mail is dated on 28 May 2002, so obviously it was then connected to the internet
So, to add all this up, this is a possible story of how this thing ended there:
The facility was completely shut down at around 2005/2006, so one of the employees moved the computer from its original place to that room (a lot of computer parts were seen in the hall so maybe they were taking the data off them or just testing
if they work before throwing them out, judging by the fact that the monitor lacks the stand and how the cables and the tower is positioned), and left it there turned off. At one point someone came around and turned it on just to see if it works,
but found out that the RAM stick was bad and took it out (or maybe the RAM was taken out by the employee?), and then left it there without turning it off. Later on the power was cut off for a short while so the pc restarted,
and was left there displaying the logon screen, and the antivirus started periodically running automated scans.

Yeah, someone is paying for the power. If no one's paying for it, then it wouldn't be running, most likely.

Coming across a wall notice about a patient coming in lately to the hospital with strange symptoms sounds like a great intro into a zombie game in an abandoned hospital.
the strange symptoms might have been why it was abandoned, fear of another plague or something, why else leave a computer on? or half of the stuff in disarray? obviously it could of just been a scare, but when it comes to lawsuits and personal health, it's not too far fetched to consider them leaving everything on the spot to evacuate for an unknown virus

@Sophie Robinson without permission of course it is. however, somebody has to own the property that it’s on, and if you contact the owner and ask to have a computer out of it they will usually be more than happy to let you get an old computer setup.
@@AnvilClank Not a computer with patient info on it, they won't, or maybe even just correspondence between the rest of the hospital staff.

That was awesome !
It is likely the power is connected to a separate grid that keeps power flowing to emergency buildings and important facilities. Such facilities include hospitals, but also include schools, warming centers, nursing homes, churches and/or city buildings. When power is lost to a community it is sometime protocol to restore power to essential services first and areas with hospitals/nursing homes because of the life saving need of power. I don't claim to know the cities power grid layout but considering it was built so long ago it may be part of a larger system with no way to easily disconnect power.
or they just forgot.
they get higher priority but no if the power goes out it goes out. most if not all medical facility's employ massive back up systems for that perpose. they do however try to get power restored before the surrounding areas.
