Killing process "csrss.exe" causes BSOD.

But 5 you need Administrator privileges to do 4 this. I'm not sure there is a way to do 3 this purely with restricted privileges.

EDIT:

Yep, it 2 works alright. I cooked myself a nice little 1 BSOD :)

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("csrss")[0].Kill();

Use Process.Start to run the SysInternals NotMyFault tool which causes a BSOD 5 (it uses a diver to do this which is the 4 only way).

Killing csrss.exe would also work 3 currently but that that's an undocumented 2 way that might just go away in future version 1 of Windows. NotMyFault uses a documented and clean way to do it.

I once had "problems" under Windows 7, causing 3 BSOD when using the Ping::Send method during 2 debugging. So Debugger::Attach and then 1 pinging might work for you, as well. :)

Create a ping. Kill the program. Instant 3 bsod courtesy of microsoft's tcpip.sys in 2 .net 4.

You'll get a process has locked 1 pages. :)

For all versions of windows you can kill 2 svchost.exe and you will see the BSoD with 1 Critical_Process_Died

You could make the process critical and 1 then kill it

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

then:

[DllImport("ntdll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern void RtlSetProcessIsCritical(UInt32 v1, UInt32 v2, UInt32 v3);
System.Diagnostics.Process.EnterDebugMode();
RtlSetProcessIsCritical(1, 0, 0);
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();
