Hello everyone, I'm looking for ways to bring down a system with just 2GB of RAM. The idea is to overload it until it crashes completely. I have a Dell pre-built PC that runs very slowly and often lags, but the IT team hasn't upgraded it yet because they think it's fine. They need a way to force it to crash so they can fix it.

Excessive RAM usage won’t cause a crash. It will merely rely on the pagefile and terminate processes. Now is the right moment to send a frustrated message or step away.

You can use an incorrect BIOS to confuse them, they'll never realize it lol

This would be too straightforward, as I need it to fail right when you open the Windows desktop, not just during startup.

No, there isn't a way to disable the pagefile or reduce its efficiency.

Yes, you require admin privileges, do you have them? But that would just cause programs to crash more quickly.

You can easily damage things with these tools. There are programs designed to crash the system for testing purposes. I believe there are some in the sys internals. What kind of mess is this operating system running, Windows 7 plus an old PC with admin privileges?

I understood the pass because I paid close attention to how they entered it. Apart from that, yes, they’re pretty slow. All the programs run really slow, and when we asked why tasks take time, the IT team just wiped the logs and said everything was fine.
