If you are unwilling to introduce the video, I'm unwilling to waste time
watching it.
Your loss. It was quite interesting.

I thought so too. I was almost more intrigued with the guys setup for
testing. Lazy Susan amongst other things.

TL;DW. Summary please?

It's a demonstration on how to debug a computer
that is unceremoniously shutting down and/or resetting.

If a system always shuts down, it could be PROCHOT
(no thermal paste).

If a system resets at least part of the time due to the
problem, it could be related to a reset issue of some sort.
It could also be a code problem, where the ACPI "power button"
is being triggered. (Which might be bad RAM. Hard to say.)
You can also have crashes that don't trap, and instead
the machine resets.

And reversing the roles of the reset and power buttons
is standard practice for this sort of thing. It helps
you spot and verify, which switch is acting up.
