    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.

  • @nerdynate
    @nerdynate Před 8 měsíci +487

    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!

      @ShadowPrincePBC Před 7 měsíci +5

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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
      @TheLukasz032 Před rokem +15

      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...

    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
