Windows 7: Force a crash - How do I?

karlsnooks,

Temporarily remap your caps lock key so that it emulates scroll lock key, then use the usual scroll key methods to crash. This is an old trick and hopefully still works.

Remap the CapsLock Key or any Key in Windows XP, 2000, Vista and 2003

There would probably also be some small utilities floating around that'll auto the job for you. You would need to google for that.

Edit: You can use Sharpkeys

You learn something new everyday.
