A way to invoke BSOD on purpose?

[Guest yerk5]

Can anyone tell me a command-line command that would actually invoke a

legitimate BSOD, without causing any permanent damage? I'll take

either variety of: 1) being able to get rid of it with a keystroke, or

2) locking the system up, requiring reboot.

 

TIA

Here is something (untried!) I picked up from this newsgroup

some time ago:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters]

"CrashOnCtrlScroll"=dword:00000001

Once you've added this value, restart the PC, then test it by holding

down the right-hand Ctrl key and pressing the ScrollLock key twice.

Hmm, may try that. :o)

 

In the meantime, you could create a shortcut to this screensaver:

It depends on whether you use PS/2 or USB keyboard.

is this any use to you

http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13335

haven't tried it but they mention one thing called NotMyFault another

called StartBlueScreen by nirsoft

 

NotMyFault seems to be a GUI thing, a screenshot is here

http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/sasha/archive/2007/08/11/Debugging-and-Investigation-Tools.aspx

 

StartBlueScreen may be what you want

http://nirsoft.net/utils/start_blue_screen.html

"This utility, just as it sounds, allows your to crash the Windows

operating system by initiating a Blue Screen of Death according to 5

parameters that you specify from command-line. "

Website says you have to be administrator (or I guess run it as

administrative)
