Answer 1

Install a really cheap, low power PSU like a 350W:

It won't have enough power and your system will fry!

Answer 2

Huh, interesting question. Does it have to be the motherboard of processor? Can it be the ram? Cause thats much easier to short it. If you have anything that can give it an electric jolt. Think static electricity. Open up your comptuer take out the board, built a static or electric charge and touch it to the board. If you are using someting tht is more powerful then a static charge, touoch it to somewhere like by the battery terminal or by a connector. Then reconnect and it shouldnt be noticable, and it if is, they will think its natural.



I have also heard of putting the board in the microwave for like 3 seconds, not enough to melt the plastic board, but to cause a spark from the leads. Good luck.

Answer 3

unlike the others who are advising you on how to damage your computer i must ask what have you done to make you want to do this ,why is it necessary whats on the computer that you need to destroy or is it an insurance scam to get a new and updated one ? many questions will be asked so if you do it make sure you get your story right

Answer 4

loosen the heat sink a bit so its not making perfect contact with the processor, turn on the pc and it should burn out. replace the heat sink to its original position and play dumb

Answer 5

Huh? Are you kidding me?

Another example of overclocking and not knowing what you are doing.

Answer 6

overheat it....

get something to maximize ur cpu usage then just stop the fan until it fries

Answer 7

that sounds weird but you could short it out with some wire or accidently on purpose spill your drink on it
