Do you want Digimon because this is how you get Digimon

Gotta love how the first Digimon to be born in the internet rather than the Digimon world, immediately decided to nuke humanity.

Ah yes, doing things to the inside of a computer while it's turned on, absolutely nothing can go wrong.

My friend learned to do this & preserve the volatile state of the RAM with like liquid nitrogen or something. He's a cop in comp forensics.

In order to preserve exactly what's currently saved in it? That's neat.

Yup, that's exactly what they do, it's transferred to another computer and then dumped for analysis.

Oh man, there was a program that would play that on the PC speaker back in the 8086 days.

Bonsai buddy?

8086 would have preceded Bonsai Buddy by decades. Bonsai Buddy was around 2000, the 8086 came out in 1978.
WaterWaiter
Ah cool, TIL, thanks! I actually wasn't sure what was meant by 8086.

It's a model of CPU, the one that most modern desktop and laptop computers are based off of, although it's many generations removed now. 1/2

Anytime Ive ever had an improperly seated major component my computer would straight to BSOD.
eldorel
BSOD message screens are a Windows OS feature. This was done without a boot drive, so no OS; no Windows; no BSOD.
Ulthirm
Newer OSes all mostly have a catastrophic error handler akin to Windows' BSOD, but things like POST BIOS and the like won't. This is
Ulthirm
definitely POST but not quite to an OS yet.
aberry9036
The bsod message and program will be held in memory, too. Can't display an error message that no longer exists.
ilovedogknots
This is on an old os when errors would just nuke it instead of being brought down with a bsod
ProxyPlayerHD
i mean even the Amiga had it's own version of the BSOD
eldorel
that's not even booted into an OS yet. This is just the bios. (you can see the "select boot disk" message in the bottom left image)

I guess you never wanted that computer to function normally again...
PballQhead
It''ll be fine after a hard reboot, unless you break a RAM socket or something
Baeloro
If you have the procedural ability or a surgeon playing Operation you might walk away with only a couple of permanent errors. If you just
Baeloro
yank a stick... It's never going to run properly again. Ram is very sensitive like that.
evilcarp
That's why you talk nicely to it first. Get it in the mood for a nice psychotic episode.
Baeloro
Well I mean, if you're trying to avoid errors and random crashes, maybe just leave the ram installed.
