    Killing my PC

    yo guys

    Just wandering...........Is there anyway I can get my laptop to die without leaving any evidence of me causing it. It can't be dropped or smashed to bits. It needs to look like the laptop just went dead. I had an idea of turning off the fan so it would overheat, but it would auto shut down : can I turn that off ? Is there a programme soo intense it would just kill my laptop ?

    And no I am not using a PCS laptop. Im waiting untill August to buy my PC but.........if my laptop were to suddenly "die", it would speed up the process

    There are restrictions though. No use of :

    Weapons
    Tools
    Martial Arts
    Viruses
    Gorman (Physically)
    Liquids
    Flame thowers
    Kitchen Equipment
    Electrical Equipment
    Attempts at "loosing" the laptop

    Etc.. Etc...

    I need suggestions ASAP

    Start flashing the BIOS then pull the mains lead and battery out halfway into it. That should do it.

    Can you please explain a bit more in detail. Im a not sure what flashing is. Also, pull the mains out half way AND the battery or just the battery. I want to break my laptop, not set an electrical fire lol

    If you pull the battery out and leave the mains plugged in, it does nothing. To kill the power, you need to remove both. Not halfway, all the way.

    Flashing the BIOS means updating it. It can be a dangerous thing to do if you don't know what you're doing, and if you cut the power halfway through doing it, you'll knacker the BIOS and render the laptop useless to all but the most seasoned PC repairer.

    1. go into BIOS
    2. Start Flashing
    3. Pull out mains and battery
    4. ACT LIKE A BOSS

    Ok Objectives confirmed. Wish me Luck

    Just google a bios update for your laptop, download it, start it going, cut the power before it finishes. Job done.
