I noticed a joke on Reddit about disconnecting RAM and seeing strange symbols. Does this actually occur? I haven’t found anything similar on YouTube.

RAM holds the main data for your computer, and removing it might cause unexpected issues. Be sure to avoid doing this while the system is running, as it could damage the RAM stick, slot, or both.

I'm "subbed" mainly to challenge people who believe mining is the sole cause of our GPU shortage.

I have a partially dead motherboard and a lot of DDR2 RAM. I plan to do this when I get home. I’m concerned the CPU memory controller might fail, but the LGA 775 does have a motherboard memory controller.

Checked PCMR recently. Reddit thread discusses intense reaction after forceful removal.

I once removed a RAM slot in my computer while playing a game. It just stopped working and the sound began to play "brring".

The idea that the PC master race wants to destroy your hardware while it's running is absurd. It sounds like a misunderstanding or a joke. Reddit might have shared it, but it’s not serious.
