What happens if you plug or unplug a stick of RAM while the computer is running?
It fucking dies
What are you expecting dude
What would happen if I 'uplugged' parts of your brain while you were running

Isn't it hotswappable?

had a phone call from a retard that unplugged his RAM hot recently
surprisingly it only hung up and didn't detect the RAM in Windows (it did in the BIOS) until he re-seated each stick one by one
so it's not guaranteed death of components
ecc registered is hotswap from memory

I don't think it would though. There's obviously a chance it would, but I don't think so.
Why would it? There won't be surge in voltage, so the components should be fine. It would crash and maybe turn itself off, but that's pretty much all I think what would happen.
That being said, I'm obviously not going to try it.

I meant 'die' as in 'freeze up and/or shut down'.
Slightly different question. If you're quick, can you transfer RAM from a running machine to an identical one that's just been powered on and resume where you left off?
If you do pull a stick of ram, will the data on there still be available? Since nothing has called the delete? Or does ram flush itself (I actually don't completely know how ram works in that sense if I'm honest, and that's pretty embarrassing for a student programmer)
Your computer would crash obviously. Don't think it would really fry your stuff.

No. Hardware needs to be initialized to the exact state as expected by the memory image.

Yes, but it fades pretty quickly. This can be extended by cooling which is why one spying strategy is to cool the RAM of a running PC then use a very lightweight bootable disc (so it doesn't overwrite what's on there) to save it to a non volatile medium for later perusal. Certain security agencies also have devices for doing this.

pretty cool

Interesting bro, thanks
The PC will freeze and the motherboard will peep a bit.
Restart your PC and it will run just fine.

>even RAM sticks come full of rice now
Fucking why? What is the purpose of that? Do people seriously take looks into account when buying internal components?
>>51838572
Usually no.

Consumer desktop market has experienced a shift towards the enthusiast crowd, which surprise surprise are usually gaymer manchildren that like their PC cases with clear windows and full of LEDs.
Workstation/server memory doesn't have those flashy heatspreaders.
Also so called "value ram"
>>51840014
I'm a gaymer manchildren but I don't want a computer made of rice.
Is there any performance or wuality difference between those "value ram" sticks and the shit in the OP? If I can get it for cheaper then I'll pick value over cheesy heatspreaders

they're cheaper because they don't have pointless cheesy heatspreaders that have to be machined/casted/painted/anodized and put on the stick.

No it isn't...
