Probably one of the best LTT videos in quite some time. Dennis getting rickrolled, Taran keeps recommending microwaving whatever is the issue, James's dad joke, Colton getting a job offer after getting fired for the nth time... Good stuff.
For the code 00 guy, I think it would have been worth resetting the BIOS, and removing/reseating the DIMMs. Try to boot with only one memory stick just to eliminate possible culprits before replacing the board. And as sad as it could be, definitely worth reseating the video card or testing another if available. Have seen all three cause a PC to get stuck on 00 at boot
how ist *dead CPU* not one of the three? that's by far the most common cause of 00 post codes. if it's not dead it's unresponsive for other reasons that _might_ be the mainboard, which is why I found linus' conclusion pretty ambitious.
I've even powered on without the ram in before just to get a beep code and putting the ram in then works, jumping to a hardware failure sounds like the easy answer.
no it doesn't help, i had exactly same issue 2 months ago, tried everything, nothing helped of what you wrote above and i tried more than that, gave up and gave mobo & cpu to service center, they are still looking into it but they said that they suspect that it's the motherboard issue also for me it happened exactly the same way as it happened for the guy in the video, he took gpu out to clean it & placed it back in - i swapped the gpu , both are exactly same steps to cause that thing
@@veduci22 a gpu is a luxury good only meant to play video games . If you can afford a gpu you are well above the poverty line. There’s Indians that need to work 6 years to buy an iPhone
I agree. There are so many errors that there'd be a very slim chance of me relating to any of them, but there's also enough of us watching that *maybe* one of us can relate. And I also agree that it is hilarious
best kind of reality tv, no ones getting hurt and most of the "contestants" are either getting help or a laugh, while losing nothing but time and mayby some phone credit if they have shit plans.
I work in tech support, my favorite thing is when people ask me to fix something ridiculously specific about their software, but they call me from their cell phone 40 miles away from their office and say "What, do I need to be in front of my computer?"
I had similar case in my old job, except customer - small business which we installed rack with server for - called us that his server was down and we couldn't get remote access. After arrival at place we found out that the "it guy" that called us was on two week vacation in different country and no one except him had keys from the server room...
This is actually really true for the most part - Apple is really good about this, there's usually not to many software problems with their devices. The hardware though... ugh.
Oh gosh, this is great. As a computer enthusiast myself there have been so many instances where I felt so lost, pls make this a series or something, I bet there are so many people desperate for help
@@arnox4554 yeah, definitely, if this happens just once a month or something and opened to international I bet it would be a really cool thing to do for the community
I'm in my first year as an expert It system and devices student and I found out real early on that you can't know everything and you just have to know the base and some more and what keywords to use to look stuff up. Most of my job will be looking stuff up, you'll know more and more as you run into more things. and remember that there's no shame in asking for help.
Should have told the dude with error code 00 to check how his AIO was plugged in to the mobo as well. He mentioned he reseated it. Only time I've gotten 00 on my asus board was when I had the CPU fan and AIO plugged in wrong, System wouldn't boot. No guarantees, but that's one more thing to try GL.
Also, if that doesn't work, leave all but one ram, remove GPU, unplug all USB (We are looking for MOBO post code, not display), reset bios by removing CMOS battery for 10s. That usually does the trick.
Yeah the system looks like it's working fine. I would do maybe a rebuild of it, and check everything carefully as he plugs it all back, and do a quick CMOS clear.
This was one of the best pieces of content you've published these last months, congrats! Lately I haven't really had the time to watch a lot of YT, but this video was absolutely worth the while
Linus I’ve been watching you since the start of RUclips basically lol you were one of the first consistent content creators that I remember, of course that’s subjective. This has to be one of the best ideas dude. I could watch this all day long while at work or driving in the car. As of geeks we constantly have unknown random issues and just listening to others problems has helped me think of my own probs in a different way and with different opinions and your professional understanding, this is just good dude. Hell of a teacher !
This was one of the funniest days ever. I was fortunate enough to speak to Taran, what a chill guy. I hope you do this again, it was a huge load of fun.
I miss tech shows where people could call in for help. I remember watching one when I was a teenager, I believe it was called call for help. Please do more of this.
I found that LP in my collection recently. I played it, and it sounded great. Almost as if childhood me bought it and never played it and hid it in shame amongst his father's records, only to find them after his father passed. Huh.

It’s actually really sweet to see how much fun Linus had helping people 🥰 So much better than most tech assistance. When I built my PC everything with it was fine but microsoft kept giving me a blue screen - Wasn’t my memory at all. After 3 different techs looked at the problem none of them had told me that Microsoft while being an 8GB program, needs 16GB of space from the usb stick to install 🙄😤

this video managed to be one of the most hilarious LMG videos in a while while still being informative on some niche issues that can crop up. thank you all for existing
Great idea. This is one of the best things about LTT. When they get a request for an unusual sponsored video, they actually make it work and produce a really high-quality piece of content where the sponsor is featured, but the video would still work as a standalone video without them.
6:55 I had this problem on sunday too and this vid really helped me! Had bought a new case, transplanted the motherboard and then i did have power to the board but it wouldn't start. I did have a speaker connected to the board but no beeps. (no Error leds or hexcode on the board available) After a while of troubleshooting, trying new cables, etc. the board wouldn't even start. When Linus said the CPU could be wrongly seated made me have a second look at the board and indeed.. i saw the pins from the side. Solution: Removed the CPU (dropped it Linus style :D Pins weren't bent much, fixed that) Reseated the CPU and reapplied cooling paste Tested the board and it WORKED! I really thought i had broken the board, was allready looking for a replacement because the board was dead and i didn't even get error beeps.
3CX - I knew I recognized that queue music :D On a related note though, I established 3CX in our business, set up locally in a debian VM and it works just like a charm. Absolutely top notch the solution.
Linus, please do this series like once a month or something. Set up a partnership with 3CX. This is so informative and interesting, and I feel like a ton of people will get useful learning from more of these! I know I did!
Dude Linus is legitimately very good at tech supporting. I used to do tech support for years for a medium sized company and precisely defining and limiting the scope of the problems and what was attempted before is a defining trait of good tech support.
This would be great if it's done a few times a year. Could you imagine this being done the Monday after US Thanksgiving or 2-3 days after Christmas. Not only may the calls be from people with new products they just bought or were gifted, but it could be entertaining to boot. Also be cool if Anthony, Jake, maybe James all joined Linus to give legit tech tips.
@The Lonely Proto If they had it all the time with a dedicated support staff it wouldn't be special or video worthy and it would be a pay per minute situation most likely.
Guys I have to say, I haven't loved an LTT video this much since the first season of scrapyard wars came out. Your content is consistently great, but this might be my favorite LTT video ever. Please do more of these, maybe make this a regular feature? Not sure how resource intensive this format is for you guys but I would love to see this once a month or so. Thanks for the great content! 🙂
Ha, nice use of my "It's busy" disappointment. Also, I think my issue resolved itself, which is nice. This was a fun video to be able to participate in.
We need more videos like these. I was watching some of the older videos and while the direction of LTT is going in is GREAT; I love seeing things like this. Would love to see more Scrapwars as well.
This has got to be one of the best LTT vids in a looong time... not only because it was hilarious, wonderfully conceived, and edited, but it puts Linus directly in contact with the fans and followers... I'm sure it was a LOOOONG day, but yall got some EXCELLENT content... GREAT JOB TO THE ENTIRE TEAM for pulling this one off.

@@Anankin12 true, it couldn't change the fanspeed on my 3rd gen intel acer laptop now that you mention it. but I guess that's on laptop manufacturers trying to limit your ownership of your laptop as much as they can.

As someone who worked in the cable industry for 4 years with coaxial cable the un fuck it part had me dying😂 those nasty copper cables doing copper cable things 😂😂
@@Fogolol it all depends on the coaxial how long it is if it’s damaged are there any kinks in it . Loose connectors on either end can mess up the signal going to a modem. If you have the wrong types of splitter it can also cause issues. Because coax can act as a giant antenna by the time I left the cable industry they had us checking 12 different signal levels at every house we went to, half of which where making sure there’s no outside interference on the line. Just copper cables doing copper cable things 😂
Keep meaning to tune into WAN show and say this as well but, here I am commenting again on this video 3 months later because it is still one of the most entertaining and genuinely wonderful pieces of youtube content I have ever seen. PLEASE make this a regular series. I would pay $5/month just for a weekly "LTT Hotline show" that's how much I love the concept. Please please make more LTT Hotline Videos!!!
I don't know how difficult this was to do relative to a standard LTT video on the production end, but as a viewer, I could easily see this as being a monthly thing.

No one:

Taran: Just put it in the microwave!
Throw it out the window, that'll solve all your problems
TOASTER OVEN. do not put it in microwave! Follow his specific instructions and put it in toaster oven
5 years in IT Helpdesk here, THE STRUGGLE IS REAL & this video was spot on
I would love to hear "Dad Jokes" at the end of every LMG video!!
This was fun. Didn't even realize that the video was 20 mins long!
Didn't either until I saw your comment.
Me3
And wanted another hour….
Great idea. This is one of the best things about LTT. When they get a request for an unusual sponsored video, they actually make it work and produce a really high-quality piece of content where the sponsor is featured, but the video would still work as a standalone video without them.
6:55 I had this problem on sunday too and this vid really helped me!
Had bought a new case, transplanted the motherboard and then i did have power to the board but it wouldn't start.
I did have a speaker connected to the board but no beeps. (no Error leds or hexcode on the board available)
After a while of troubleshooting, trying new cables, etc. the board wouldn't even start.
When Linus said the CPU could be wrongly seated made me have a second look at the board and indeed.. i saw the pins from the side.
Solution:
Removed the CPU (dropped it Linus style :D Pins weren't bent much, fixed that)
Reseated the CPU and reapplied cooling paste
Tested the board and it WORKED!
I really thought i had broken the board, was allready looking for a replacement because the board was dead and i didn't even get error beeps.
3CX - I knew I recognized that queue music :D
On a related note though, I established 3CX in our business, set up locally in a debian VM and it works just like a charm. Absolutely top notch the solution.
Linus, please do this series like once a month or something. Set up a partnership with 3CX. This is so informative and interesting, and I feel like a ton of people will get useful learning from more of these! I know I did!
And suddenly all other support lines became barren xD
Great Editing Aprime: the [troll : tech tips] ratio was on point
Taran's terrible tips needs to be a thing.
TTT
@@CED99 Taran's Tech Tips = Trouble in Terrorist Town lol lmao Cat Tips
TTT
Dude Linus is legitimately very good at tech supporting.
I used to do tech support for years for a medium sized company and precisely defining and limiting the scope of the problems and what was attempted before is a defining trait of good tech support.
Please do These every few months. This is genuinely a help
This would be great if it's done a few times a year. Could you imagine this being done the Monday after US Thanksgiving or 2-3 days after Christmas. Not only may the calls be from people with new products they just bought or were gifted, but it could be entertaining to boot.
Also be cool if Anthony, Jake, maybe James all joined Linus to give legit tech tips.
@The Lonely Proto also hella entitled to ask for
I hope I can talk with Antony one day and flex my Gentoo installation lol.
@The Lonely Proto If they had it all the time with a dedicated support staff it wouldn't be special or video worthy and it would be a pay per minute situation most likely.
Guys I have to say, I haven't loved an LTT video this much since the first season of scrapyard wars came out. Your content is consistently great, but this might be my favorite LTT video ever. Please do more of these, maybe make this a regular feature? Not sure how resource intensive this format is for you guys but I would love to see this once a month or so. Thanks for the great content! 🙂
"Hey, this is Linus, what can I do for you?"
"I'm running Ubuntu and.."
"Please wait a moment while I transfer you to Anthony."
XD
I like how linus is this person with so much power that he can hold any tech company at gun point if they wanted to fix an issue with there product
Everyone: laughs at the rickroll...
Dennis: *What?*
"How do you know that it likes it?" Linus hit peak Dad with that one!
This may be one of the best ltt videos I’ve seen in a while. Great content, lots of laughs, and great idea.
Reminds me of the fantastic show 'Call For Help' on TechTV back in its golden days. Good stuff.
I sort of expected a gag where some sequence of options down the Mac branch led you to be redirected to an increasingly frustrated Louis Rossmann
If they ever want to do this again. They need to add Louis really far down the Mac branch.
@@ZNotFound omg yes. A collab video to put up Right to Repair would be amazing.
Or just a recording of him saying "get a Thinkpad, support Right to Repair"
This is simultaneously the most random and the most LTT thing I have ever seen
2:29 Dennis got rickrolled, GET REKED
3:55 is the classic "yes but they mean no" lol
Update: I put my phone in the microwave....house burned down..but phone works now!!! Thanks Taran!!!
This would be a fun recurring series where each episode would devolve into memes and trolling
Ha, nice use of my "It's busy" disappointment. Also, I think my issue resolved itself, which is nice. This was a fun video to be able to participate in.
We need more videos like these. I was watching some of the older videos and while the direction of LTT is going in is GREAT; I love seeing things like this. Would love to see more Scrapwars as well.
The parts where Linus actually helped people was cool. The other employees who took calls was just funny. 🤣
Omg whoever Rick rolled Dennis is my hero! The perfect LMG employee to get rick rolled.
This whole vid was amazing.
i love this makes me feel you guys are super down to earth and just like a really smart friend you always wanna hang out with
This has got to be one of the best LTT vids in a looong time... not only because it was hilarious, wonderfully conceived, and edited, but it puts Linus directly in contact with the fans and followers... I'm sure it was a LOOOONG day, but yall got some EXCELLENT content... GREAT JOB TO THE ENTIRE TEAM for pulling this one off.
11:00 I know speedfan, the issue is simply that it wasn't updated since 4th gen intel so it doesn't recognize newer stuff
It has problems with my 3rd gen intel laptop so even older stuff is hit and miss.
Luckily there's manufacturer approved stuff for Asus mobos, so I can actually mess with the fans on my desktop
@@Anankin12 true, it couldn't change the fanspeed on my 3rd gen intel acer laptop now that you mention it. but I guess that's on laptop manufacturers trying to limit your ownership of your laptop as much as they can. I mean my friend has an acer with 6th gen intel and it's legit refusing to boot from a usb drive
As someone who worked in the cable industry for 4 years with coaxial cable the un fuck it part had me dying😂 those nasty copper cables doing copper cable things 😂😂
idk man my internet is delivered over coaxial and i don't have any of those issues
@@Fogolol it all depends on the coaxial how long it is if it’s damaged are there any kinks in it . Loose connectors on either end can mess up the signal going to a modem. If you have the wrong types of splitter it can also cause issues. Because coax can act as a giant antenna by the time I left the cable industry they had us checking 12 different signal levels at every house we went to, half of which where making sure there’s no outside interference on the line.
Just copper cables doing copper cable things 😂
I love this Video ever! hahahahahaha
I can't get enough of this :D
The first thing that happens to Dennis is a rickroll, perfect
So I finally learned why the pumps of 2 of my AIO coolers failed on my previous mobo. Thanks Asus!
This whole thing was so cool. You guys have a loyal audience base for a reason
so she was always😐😚😊😂
forget to say, “Good morning” 👊✊👎👍👌✋🖐
looked at her, but most of all 😏🙄😶😑😐🤨🤔
Keep meaning to tune into WAN show and say this as well but, here I am commenting again on this video 3 months later because it is still one of the most entertaining and genuinely wonderful pieces of youtube content I have ever seen. PLEASE make this a regular series. I would pay $5/month just for a weekly "LTT Hotline show" that's how much I love the concept. Please please make more LTT Hotline Videos!!!
I don't know how difficult this was to do relative to a standard LTT video on the production end, but as a viewer, I could easily see this as being a monthly thing.
