Edit: This will not actually crash your computer. It just makes it very slow. Run the program and monitor how much RAM and processor this takes up!
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
	for (;;)
	malloc(1);
	return 0;
}

No, eventually the program itself will exhaust available resources and it will stop allocating memory and sit in an infinite loop. It'll consume all available processor, though.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

Yeah, I noticed. When the program started using swap, my computer slowed down a lot. I wonder, does anyone else have enough courage to try this out?
