Nothing much, Windows will either freeze or bluescreen, or freak out about not being able to access system files. Worse depending on how much was stored in virtual memory. You'll probably get chkdsk immediately next time you boot to that drive as well.
t. done this at work a couple of times accidentally
What's more interesting is what happens when you unplug RAM while a computer is on.

Now I'm curious.
Kayden Torres
As am I
John Edwards
I'm curious too. I'd imagine it would just crash almost immediately, but that's not really interesting.

Assuming your OS is on that hardware - not sure. But I long time ago had incident where my harddrive got unmounted because it just died while runing linux. Funny thing is - os still worked. I couldnot open folders or start new programs but already launched programs did work.
Samuel Watson
It will freeze before you even pull the ram off completely.
Jason Harris
SATA is hotplug.

But I'm more curious of what will ahppen if I unplug the CPU? That' certanly be super epic crash holy shit.
Henry Davis
You will burn your fingers trying to get it out.
Elijah James
People like you are why the EU bans everything remotely fun.

I'll use gloves. Or I'll glue the cpu to the heatsink and just pull the out together.
Nathan Wilson
A good thread died for this moronic nonsense.
Dominic Brown
DON't do that shit, I once tried to pull out a CPU with thermal paste stuck on the heatsink and half the pins stayed on the motherboard
Camden Turner
Just searched youtube and google. Surprised that no one tried this yet.
Brandon Stewart
But what would be really interesting is if you pulled the PSU out.

It usually kernel panics (blue screen) and reboots.
Ryan Scott
you'll know what was like to use a pc with windows 95, only it could happen at any time without warning.
Daniel White
>without warning.
that's not true, it tells you it's windows 95 during boot

Plugging in a PS/2 can fry your mobo.
Jason Lewis
You mean Windows ME.
Lincoln Cook
The absolute state of Jow Forums, SATA with AHCI is hot pluggable
Hudson Morgan
Head crash

If it's not writing to anything, then probably just a freeze and your programs wont open until you plug it back in and reboot.
If it is writing to something, then it can vary from anywhere from absolutely nothing to everything getting corrupted, if you want to test it your best bet would be doing it with a RasPi.
Luke Lee
try it with ubuntu live
unpplug the stick, it keeps running and displays everything already loaded, if you try to start anything the animations might run but it wont start
you can even replug it in and it will probably work
