If by chance you play Minecraft and would like to play survival with me in a style similar to hermitcraft hop in this Discord: discord.gg/t6qhTsT Its a 7 year old Hermitcraft style server without any resets. So the same world for the last 7 years. If you don't play Minecraft that's perfectly fine too! Thanks for watching.

"Can you transplant a heart while a person is running?" And I mean if the guy is ACTUALLY running.

Yo is this the verge after he builds the computer

I really wish the hard drive blue screen was different and actually said "you idiot you unplugged the hard drive"

Taking hot swappable to a whole new level

Before i knew computer stuff I removed 1 of my ram sticks and I got a bsod I rebooted and did the same with the other stick

Remove the computer from the computer while its still on

Linus Tech Tips: contacts Intel, gets new beta drivers directly from hardware engineers to enable hot-swapping PCIe devices. Jay's Tech Vault: What happens if I just yank this outta here...

This is less of a “stupid experiment” and more of a look behind the scenes of the weirdos on Craigslist “fixing” or “troubleshooting” your computer for you.

All these chromebooks ads are getting to him, he looks so mad lmao.

Well, 18Tb isn't enough for me. I guess I'll download more storage then...

This is like an 0rgan transplant while awake

The moment you removed the cpu my electricity went out and the ups of my pc turned on resulting it scaring the living shit out of me jeez💀

remove the motherboard when the computer is on

I think the educational takeaway from most of Jay's videos is either: a) No, you cannot do that. b) Yes, it breaks the computer. c) Both A and B.

10:55 wonder how would it be on a dual cpu motherboard, or even a quad one

This was very nice I've considered doing this but was too scared to wreck my system. Thank you for letting me vicariously carry out my stupid desire

In 1997 I had built an AMD K6 system. I had wired the fans to turn off while in sleep mode. I was showing someone my build and thought it was off. I removed the K6 CPU while it was asleep to show it off. I put it back in the socket and suddenly felt heat waves rising from the heat sink. Turns out that the CPU went full throttle when I inserted it but the rest of the system was asleep, including the fans. I pulled the power cord fast enough, but it made the adrenaline rush!

how to damage your motherboard and components

Skip to 11:21 This is where he removes the CPU There. Your curiosity has been quenched

This guy is awesome, he made me want to work with computers

Rn it’s 5 am, “I don’t need sleep I need answers”

Windows updating drivers in a nutshell.

so removing the CPU did less harm than the drive wow

Tbh i thought this video was like 3 years old but then I looked down an it was 5 December 2020 lmao

11:30 That CPU ejection was explicit, I actually felt like you have pulled the brain out of someone.

"Bill Gates is not happy with me" Don't you mean every component that you basically tore out???

Jay lives in a wooden house and looks like a lumberjack now tell me that he isnt a lumberjack

4:39 if you really want the GPU to work after removal, you might have a chance if it was a hotswapable PCIe slot. the BIOS also needs to support it.

the last time i was this early, my country was still considered free.

Short answer: no Long answer: Please dont I tried that and it might have killed my first pc by sticking it in while running!

What about trying to upgrade the PC parts while the PC itself is in a hibernation or suspended state?

This is what i do when im drunk and tryna mess with my pc

If you have a hard drive with a exposed needle try to jam something in it to stop it from reading/writing data

Fun fact: PCI Express is actually desgined to be hotswappable. The first lane that makes contact is 1 and the last 16 and when you take it out, lane 16 will be the first to be disconnected, BUT most operating systems don't even support hotswapping. With certain hardware you can upgrade basically anything while the system is running, but those are something like supercomputers or datacenters and not stuff that the average person can get or even afford.

Normal people: Dont do drugs, kids! PC Tech nerd: Dont Upgrade anything while your PC is running, kids!

the absolute madman removes the CPU cooler while its running and even the metal socket cover lands right on the circuitry on the graphics card

Girls during Quarantine: oMg i'M sO BoReD. Boys during Quarantine:

Was watching this at fullscreen when I suddenly almost got a heart attack at around 7:29 lol. Darn that got me good, didn't expect there to be a jumpscare for windows users haha!

14:31 I don't upgrade my pc at home. I let my mom do that. _nOt aT hOmE_ though!

Why. Just why

I wish you had a moving image on the screen with the RAM so we could see if it really was frozen. Or maybe SSH into it?

The computer: its my turn. What happens when we remove jay’s brain while he’s doing a math test?

Replace the bios battery while the computer is on pls.

These are the questions we all needed answers for.

Well dang, 0 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments. I’m *early*

" You wa shock" - No Ken, Hokutou - 80's

That cpu falling out is like... going to be in my nightmares tonight. Thanks for the nightmare fuel! (Once had a dream where my cpu cooler fell off)

thank you youtube algorithm for recommending me this for the 10th time now

When u always keep ur pc on all the time

For people actually looking for an answer, you CAN upgrade a pc when its on if it supports hot swapping (any type of storage like hard drives and ssd thats not running an os and sometimes ram if the motherboard supports the feature)

3:05 Don't turn off your computer Jays: WHAAAT?

This comment will get hearted

I started humming "Goodbye my lover" when he disconnected the hard driver 🤣😂

7:05 ... "Why are you doing this to me Jay?..." "... Daisy;....daisy ..."

I would expect removing some of these parts would not break them as loss of power like this is no different to a power cut

Screw it. *Intel Outside*

Thanks for doing this!!! This was alot of fun to watch!! What not to do! Lol

Servers actually support hotplugging PCIe devices. While consumer PCs don't, it probably wouldn't do anything bad to either component as long as you're not in the middle of flashing your GPUs BIOS or something. The part that would go haywire is the software as theyre usually not designed to handle a PCIe device suddenly going missing

This was very painful to watch but I watched all of it lmao

I would have just said the answer is "no", without even considering any other possibilities.

The Verge wants to know your location

Quick tip. This method is called hotswap. If the pc supports it it won't crash or turn off. And most good servers like Google for example have this function. in case a hard drive or ram on a server dies you can just quickly remove the dead component and install a new one without turning the unit off. So if you are planning on creating a good website or game server. Make sure you get parts that support hotswap

This one time I fixed all the cable management on my pc and I after a few hours of use the hard drive got unplugged somehow and when I rebooted it was perfectly fine somehow.

Upgrade the psu while the computer is on

Big Fan 😊

About pci things, there are pci hot swappable mobos, so as long as you don't have an external alimentation attached to your gpu, you should be able to remove it without damaging it

Next video: **How to downgrade your computer while it's on.**

8:40 - But what about SSD? No moving parts - will it still corrupt?

oh no

I once had a weird quirk with a laptop's hard drive in which if a device was drawing a lot of power from USB, the internal hard drive would end up malfunctioning and render itself inoperable until the next power cycle. Whenever that happens while I'm in Windows XP, it blue screens shortly after the hard disk starts malfunctioning, if it didn't restart prior to the BSOD due to insufficient power.

Try standby and hibernate upgrades. Long ago I worked at an IT shop and we had a case where a hardware upgrade was causing a boot failure but we were able to get around it by booting, going into hibernate, installing the hardware, resuming, telling XP to find new hardware and then pointing the installer at the driver disk. So, as insane as it sounds, I actually had a case where I had to do an on(ish) hardware install.

No

So this is why Avience keeps crashing...

I've seen some of your videos now and I decided to subscribe :)

If you are wondering: when you booted into windows at 5:00 and got the disk check stuff that probably happened because you force shut off the machine multiple times. It was most likely due to the improper shutdowns so you can replicate the same behavior by forcing shut down multiple times and there you go you will get the same disk check screen at bootup.

So, I need a RAM upgrade as 8GB for gaming, video editing etc isn't enough. Hmmm, it's time to replace it. I'm going to be doing it with the computer on, surely nothing can happen right? *computer explodes*

Oh no...

I believe the reason there was still graphics after the CPU was slightly out is actually because the frame buffer(VRAM) still had data and the GPU hardware was still running and outputing, just the same frame over and over, and then when you pulled out the CPU all the way the bracket fell and shorted the SMD components on the back of the GPU core and caused it to shut off, coincidentally right when the CPU was removed. I don't think the CPU was doing anything once you lifted the tension bar onward, only the GPU

great video idea, however: if i were you i'd add some background music and perhaps make some more cuts so the video is easier to get through and it'll also be more fun to watch if you just cut to the chase more :) no criticism here, only some feedback i've gathered from watching some of your videos. i'm subscribed and looking forward to seeing more from you :) edit: spelling error

Another crazy jay dude and breaking pc components. At least these parts don’t cost much at your local recycle pc shop...

Me who hasn't restarted my computer in 5 months and doesn't plan to for the next 5 years: SO IT *COULD* WORK

Hey buddy, I recently built my AMD RYZEN 7 3800x system build... I REALLY enjoyed watching your video buddy, I cannot believe the CPU was not fried! Great video bud! Please stay safe! 👍👍👍

Next time someone gives me shit for not using an anti-static bracelet I'll show them this video to show how resistant modern hardware actually is

Well, i guess if you like switched the CPU WITHOUT shorting the data lanes on the GPU and while the CPU clock signal was being low, you could actually manage to freeze the PC and start it back up from the point it was on before just by putting the CPU back in. Edit: Tried that with an Apple ][ and it worked. Wouldn't recommend doing this on more modern systems though. It could cause data corruption.

I thought about this yesterday and it showed up now im so happy

this is like giving someone a heart transplant while there on a bike ride

I 100% agree on the drives... I recommend not even pulling 'hotswap' drives whilst powered up, I've had (IIRC) 3 die on me in the last decade (or so)... thankfully only one (the first one) was mine, the rest I was just doing what I was told (despite my "I told you so" objections).

I love your channel 😂 such funny ideas and a great personality

I know that this video was probably intended to be a joke, but for the curious ones, while desktop PCs don't really like you hot-swapping parts (although some Linux distros might actually allow that, as PCI-E is technically designed to support hot-swapping), servers and especially IBM mainframes actually can handle it much better. Hot-swapping drives is commonplace on servers (usually in redundant RAID arrays), and in the case of IBM's z/OS you can hot-swap pretty much anything - including the CPU - and the machine will continue to work as if nothing bad had happened. Just goes to show that we can actually build systems so redundant that no single broken component can truly take them down.

SATA drives can recover from being unplugged if you plug them back in soon enough. Once the Windows cursor started stuttering, I knew it was too late. But I've actually done it myself and the computer recovered itself without a reboot.

I haven’t gotten past the ads before the video, I’m not going to watch the video because the title is asking... “Can I rip your brain out while you walk and put a new one in and expect you to be doing fine?”

i always thaught that if I remove something like the "CPU" while it's on it is gonna explode or shut down or something like that.

Some stuff (like SATA) is actually meant to be hot-swappable, IIRC. It’s not something I’ve done, but remember it not being implemented fully. Same with PCI-E but these features don’t seem to be generally available on a random desktop mobo.

Note, some server grade motherboard allow for hotswapable pci components like SAS and NIC cards. It has to be supported on the motherboard, expansion card, OS and I believe the cpu as well. So hot swapping pci components is not unheard-of!

10:10 With an AMD, just pull on the cooler :-)

This whole video is anxiety, nothing but pure anxiety

1:49 you have technically reached a windows crash dump screen, but as there is no addressable volatile memory for the internal graphics-allocated VRAM in RAM to display the crash dump screen, you have a system hang instead of a crash, with the GPU framebuffer displaying the last contents it has.

removes ram , mem controller screams in agony and freezes removes gpu , pci controller screams in agony removes cpu , its dead parrot

I'm honestly supprised the cpu lasted that long before overheating. I was doing work on my pc once (just testing the mobo) and I only got like 45-60 seconds before it shut off... And that was only with the POST running XD
