Code that triggers a BSOD?

[scottmso]

I read somewhere that there is some C code that could trigger a Blue Screen of Death on Windows XP. If anyone has source for a program that can do that, please post it here.

If MS would release their code to... any.. of their products, then you could see easily what code will crash windows.

Well actually most of the os is written in C and C++.  And since the OS and most M$ apps are the source of the BSOD you can just run any version of M$ windows and like magic....you can run the code you mentioned.

you could try something like this:

Code: [Select]

or in c++

Code: [Select]

this will drain memory ... fast ... and will leave windows confused ... it might trigger a BSOD, it might just reboot ... it might totally crash ... it might dial 911 (or the equivalent in your country)... who knows?
