Best way to kill a computer

lol pumaz :P
Sounds like a fun thing to do, :) especially as its not gonna cost you anything. Try lapping the cpu little bit to hard, just tell the it staff you wanted cooler temps...
Most practical way i think is too just up the vcore and fsb until it dies.
 
Get on of those little blow torchs fro B&Q and turn it off open it up and blow torch all its innards.

Then hide your tools and deny it all.

Say well yeah we just turned it on and it smelt like it was burning and there was like flames comming out of it.

Maybe give it a dose of Fire Foam and they'll never know !
 
I think it depends how on the ball your IT department is. You could short out some pins on the mobo and other IC chips and soon enough something will go 'Phfut!'

Another department of this company makes computers, they arent short on cash and will get them dirt cheap anyway.

We cant build up static as were standing on ESD floor lol.

Not working anywhere for DSG are we?

Blocking up all the air vents and upping the voltage is the future.

Cling Film anyone?

Break out the pencil on to mobo.
 
Start up 3dBench '06, take another stick of bubble gum and jump into a cold bath with your computer.

Obviously you feel unloved by your employer so why not simply change your job. Perhaps you could get a job in a computer store where you could play with all sorts of exciting hardware? :rolleyes:

On your CV under 'Other qualifications' you could have:

PC ***** would be banging your door down
 
its an old duron. its never gonna die. ever.

amd sold a lot of their staff and the staff's families to satan, who then forged those cores in the fires of the bowls of the earth.

from huuge granite slabs.

or something.....

more seriously - way uncool :( try and create a business case if you really think you need a more powerfull pc.
but for most "work" (word, excel, e-mail) you could make do with an old pentium 133 and not suffer unduely.

as someone else said, try and get some more ram into it and ask for a re-install to speed things up.

put your pc in microwave and turn on..

close all air gaps on ** case to trap heat.

Great idea if you want to blow the microwave leaving the pc in tact...unless you submerge it in water first, but then it'd be screwed anyway :p

I concur, Durons are double hard uber XXX mofos.

I read somewhere Nasa are refitting the silica tiles on the space shuttle with Old Durons as they're tougher, apparently there like the Chuck Norris of the CPU world.
 
I killed 3 durons back in the days:

Duron 1Ghz - fried in a few secs when I switched it on without the heatsink.
Duron 1.2Ghz - fried when I pencil modded the L1 bridges which of course only work with the earlier T-Bird core - fried instantly.
Duron 1.3Ghz - realised after I got it that it's a mobile variant so was very excited, it fried during the POST screen soon after I started ocing it. Still don't know what killed it as all I did was raise the multi and upped the vcore a little bit, maybe the vcore was too much for a mobile chip.

@OP - I don't see why it's so difficult to kill the chip? sktA cooler is possibly the easiest to install. Remove heatsink - switch on - wait till "pop" or burnt smell - re-install heatsink, everything within 30 secs.

Not that I encourage you to do it of course ;)

Bah, I know I've already suggested it once, but a bad BIOS flash is all that's needed.

Undetectable, no burnt bits, yet it won't POST. What more to you want? ;)
