'....lol, whatever dude, obviously i am not talking hardware....'

.

The problem is that software is obviously not an option that will leave you with any decent chance of maintaining anonymity....

....this blog illustrates this point very well: You created the original post as an anonymous user, then identified yourself by forgetting to make yourself anonymous in a reply to a comment....

What ambition is there to survive through to adulthood?

Hello Friends,

The Offline Crash Diagnostic tool helps reduce the time that support professionals require to correct kernel crashes in Windows XP. This tool automatically identifies crash dump information on a computer. Then, the tool uploads the results to Microsoft for analysis. Additionally, the tool returns a response URL to help the support professional suggest corrective action.
Microsoft analyzes all Stop error reports. Microsoft prioritizes each report, depending on the number of customers who are affected by the Stop error that the report mentions. Then, Microsoft takes the following steps:
1. Microsoft tries to determine the cause of the Stop error.
2. Microsoft categorizes the error according to the type of issue that you encounter.
3. Microsoft sends you relevant information.
Although Microsoft may be unable to provide a solution for every Stop error, Microsoft uses all the information that you submit to improve the quality and the reliability of Windows.

Best Regards
Steven Arnold

It seems that this is a case of wanting to exact some degree of revenge on a Ex-girlfriend, Ex-boyfriend, or a roomie!?

Not a good move DUDE or DUDETTE, as your arse will end up in the clinker with the rest of the 'clueles ones" following your arrest by the MicroSoft Police for destruction of private property.

I'd advise you not to bend over to pick-up that dropped bar of soap while you're in the jail shower...... LOL

Oh that is simple. Just make sure you have performed every suggested update, and just task the machine with something critical without redundancy, i.e rely on it completely with no backup. This will work without fail, but only if your personal loss is substantial.

.

For most other approaches, the detectability depends heavily on who could be looking into the incident.

.

If software is your route, if a forensic analysis will almost certainly realize this. Given the level of inquiry, chance are good it could be traced back to you.

.

There are numerous non software avenues that would cause a crash, with varying levels of difficulty in tracing the cause.....but why would that be something to share in a public forum?

Especially if you are posting this question from your laptop.

This sound's like a work related issue where someone wants a new laptop. Be thankful you have one, management borrowed mine and never gave it back.

Why do you ask?
