BSOD test application?
-
Does anyone know if one exists? I want to run a test app to induce a BSOD on my system. Ok, get all the jokes out of your system now... tell em to install Word, or Outlook... I just want to make sure that the system is acting as it should (writing a dump file, etc..)

Holly cow... I found some code on the Internet that will induce a BSOD... How simple can you get...
void main () {
for ( ; ; ) {
printf ("Hung up\t\b\b\b\b\b\b") ;
}
}BANG!!! Anyone care to try this on Windows 2000 or Windows XP? I can't belive that something this simple crashes the OS.

I was so tempted to try this earlier on my XP Pro box, but I was working and had too much stuff open (too lazy to shut it all down). Now, I'm at home, so I figured why not give it a shot. It didn't crash XP Pro, much to my disdain. :laugh: It just prints "HuHung up" and keeps flashing. The link you posted earlier about the Ctrl+Scroll Lock or whatever was pretty cool though.

Don't know about forcing a real one, but if you want to scare someone, try installing this screensaver: :-D http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/bluescreensaver.shtml[^]
