What happens if you remove PC components from a running computer?

[@ZarHakkar]

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

[@Konym]

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.

[@klimmesil9585]

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)

[@TheLukasz032]

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).

[@someguy4915]

@@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...

Unplugging the ram while the computer is running is like removing a human's organs while they're alive. "OH GOD PLEASE NO THE PAIN IS- *crashes*" - The computer probably.

[@Dragon-ye8nt]

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.

[@YuThinkUrCool]

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.

[@martinkuliza]

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

[@Fera-gr5mm]

Even for the USB drive, there is option to "safely unplug". But audio/keyboard/... jacks are pretty safe

[@martinkuliza]

@@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

that's the first thing that cross my mind as a former a+ student. i know most viewers are here out of curiosity or in just for the memes but for pc tech student perspective, it's definitely helpful specially when you're diagnosing hardware issues.

[@friskylime]

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.

[@pollorojo]

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.

Some motherboards, especially server-oriented models, do allow you to hot-plug (but not necessarily hot-swap) memory and PCI-E devices. Non-system SATA and SAS hard drives can be hot-swapped if enabled in the BIOS. Most consumer boards have this option, but it's usually disabled by default.

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.
