Lesson learned with elite dangerous and swapping ram slots *its bad*

Oh my. Sorry but no, it's not "not likely". There is no chance. End of. We aren't arguing a matter of opinion here, that's simply not how RAM works, no point discussing it further. That's literally my field of work. Water doesn't flow upstream, fire doesn't freeze things, RAM doesn't store permanent data. To keep implying the opposite is literally flat-earther level of blindness to facts.
(And RAM not being seated is just a PC staying dead. It's not a carburettor to be tuned, it's either seated and working, or not seated and as good as not being there at all)

makes no sense tbh, I read ur post and all it said to me was 'this person does not understand how a PC works' sorry dont mean to be rude or trolly but that is what I read
The last issue I had with losing key binds, which was probably 2 or 3 years back now was similar, but I ended up copying and pasting the controller ID number to replace the instances of its older version in the text of the bindings file itself. I had switched from D-input to X-input (both short for DirectX, but the D-input is the old standard and generally less pripriotary and predefined in assignment)... But anyway, I had switched this on the firmware settings of the controller I use, and at another point on the same controller going from USB Bluetooth plug to 2.4GHz USB plug transceiver.
I generally use Bluetooth because it's more convenient, but 2.4 seems to be a bit more reliable.
That's what I mean, the RAM not being seated could mean less RAM in use which could be detected and affect how potentially buggy system drivers, BIOS, or programs run. So yes, there is a chance, just not likely.
Yeah. The real issue is USB re-mapping. And RAM swapping can totally be one of the tens of possible "triggers".
Literal LOL
Um, smell curious. Heard the common Amazon tree frog flatulence had a hallucina..err medicinal effect
Or just disable fast boot in windows, you don't want that enabled if you plan to take apart your pc for cleaning/upgrades
Wow, I forgot about Fast Boot. I never used it. So it uses the RAM? It says that it put your computer in hibernation mode. Isn't it kind of dangerous to touch your hardware when it's "powered" on?

Does Windows take a long time to boot up? Here are a few things you can do to make the startup process on your computer a little quicker.
I'm just wondering if he's still assuming I was saying that the RAM is storing stuff when it's off, when that isn't what I was saying nor meaning to imply.

Not quite, it stores info on disc for fast loading, kind of like hibernating rather than sleep.Wow, I forgot about Fast Boot. I never used it. So it uses the RAM? It says that it put your computer in hibernation mode. Isn't it kind of dangerous to touch your hardware when it's "powered" on?

But it can mean that anything that was or is running could potentially get a little wonky over time where a fresh boot could help.
Oh thx for the explanation. You never know nowadays with progress of technologies, haha.
I mean, it could be cool if they invented a way to put the computer into "semi-powered" hibernation mode, keeping the RAM alive for "fast boot". Sweet dreams I guess.
So like a standby mode, yeah, they might use similar to some mobiles and things with internal power supplies. Not sure. I think this is used more for base level system stuff, CIA snooping and that sort of thing.
But anyway, that's kind of what sleep mode is for what you were saying, unless you're meaning like a hybrid sleep/hibernate mode, in case of power loss.

If you move ram around in a system, a PC may do a long boot instead of a quick boot at the BIOS/UEFI level. USB initialization orders could change during that process or the OS boot after it depending on what USB devices are attached. You are correct, RAM does not hold data after it is powered down, but it's not about that, it's about what the PC bios may be doing after you change the ram from one slot to another.
Why do modern PC even still have fast boot? What is the boot speed savings on a modern PC with that enabled, 3-4 seconds?
I only reboot my Windows computer maybe once a month or so on average. My ~8 year old laptop running updated Manjaro takes about 10 seconds to boot, though I did switch out the HDD it came with with an SSD, of course.
Not quite apples to apples anyway though since I have all kinds of stuff running on my Windows computer at startup.

I’ll stick with the nice stable (relatively bug free) horizons thanks…..how’s being an unpaid beta tester working out as a second job?
