Make a keyboard shortcut to force a Blue Screen Of Death.

I do this mainly for fun but partly to force shutdown if i got something hanging up.

1. Run regedit or similar registry editing tool (start/run/regedit).
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: CrashOnCtrlScroll Data Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1
4. All done. Now you can create your own bsod by Ctrl and Scroll.
5. Note: You must restart your computer for these changes to take effect.

Source.

If you hold the power button for 5 seconds you get a hardware shutdown. This is built into the BIOS of any computer.

I guess this was more about the ability to do it rather than function.
But i certainly agree. Hard boot is simple enough.

If you are sitting lets say meter from your computer it could be a nasty stretch to reach your arm to the power button. I know friends that seriously damaged there arms and shoulders by doing that. I even know a kid that broke his back by bending over because his computer was under his desk Thumbsup.

lol that is quite funny.
As for the shameless promotion i agree It was a bit in poor taste.
However i did get told in another thread to mention my source which was also me so i do this sometimes as a bit of a dig at said poster Smile

Heh I was kidding about the kid breaking his back + injuring their arms. Just being over-rated sarcastic ^.^. I was also kidding about the shameless promotion!

Come one are my jokes that hard :S. Anyways you do not got to source if it's made by you without any guides, etc.
