How can I blow up this computer?

open the case and stop the CPU fan for a few minutes, then put the cover back on...

i speak from experience. open up the case. install one RAM stick with the contacts still facing down, but backwards. just ram it in there and turn it on. never mind the loud beep and that smell. power it down. install the RAM the right way and you're all set. your chipset will be nice and crispy.

Easiest thing to do is stop the CPU fan. Even lift the fan "just a little" off the CPU, thereby eliminating the heat sink from the equation.

Open some pictures, run some vids on YouTube, play solitaire and that thing will be a paper weight in 10 mins tops.

Install Vista

I'm running Vista. I like it. If you've got the RAM, it's actually quite speedy. Wouldn't recommend it for small laptops, though.

don't think this works. This only works if your powersource is 220 and you switch it to 110.

I think that's true. The power source here is 110 and I have already turned on a PC with the switch set to 220. The computer didn't turn on properly, but it didn't damage the computer either.
