Any tips on how I can reliably trigger a BSOD? For old time's sake.

Open the Run panel and try to go to "C:\con\con". Instant BSOD. (This was an old trick I used to do as a bratty kid when people left their computers unlocked. Nice to see that it still works!)
You can also just shutdown (ie click start and then select shutdown) that caused a BSOD for me.

I found this very ironic.. It died while trying to die.
