Not a computer, but the roblox client.

Absolute has a method that eats ram super fast.
I'm sure if you set the process to real time or your computer doesn't have a lot of ram, it may crash it.

I've seen someone get a blue screen from it.

while true do delay(function() end) end
Or something like that

while (wait(0.03)) do -- encase in a while loop to prevent timeout
for a = 1, math.huge do -- never stop
delay(0, function() delay(0, function() return end) return end) -- create two threads at once
end
end

You can draw a ton of laggy graphics. I would expect many people to have their GPU under a 5 year old dust layer, which means you might be able to overheat it :3

No matter what I run to lag roblox studio,

It always freezes, but does not affect my other programs at all, everything else runs smooth.

Here's my task manager while running that Absolute's script:

Oh and its CPU consumption was 13%

So with even relatively good hardware I dont think its possible to crash or freeze a computer from inside the roblox client

There is a much simpler way...

while true do delay(function () while true do end end) end

It is possible


while wait() do
for i = 1,100 do
Instance.new("Message",game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui).Text = "hi"
end
end

In a localscript

On some computers you might be able to BSoD someone, or at least crash their graphics drivers for some reason

It's important it's in a localscript because it seems doing it server side is never as effective, due to latency I would assume, but it can still freeze and crash roblox itself (and because it references Players.LocalPlayer)


I've been BSoDed by skids on script builders before, and I've found that this way is the major effective.

You can also (as of now) deeply nest billboardguis and cause extreme lag and even crashing people for some odd reason . I reported the flaw on RbxDev and they are fixing it soon, so you shouldn't use it as a permanent method.

With your method, roblox client froze, but my other programs and overall performance was fine, nothing laggy whatsoever...

I don't believe much of what Ryan said. I've not heard or seen any primary evidence that those type of methods work. I know the delay leak BSoDs users with about 4 GB of RAM or less.

@stealth 1st one?

@pre After being BSoDed on a script builder, I did some reason and found that all it is is messages. You could probably try it on yourself in the studio command bar, inserting the messages inside the StarterGui instead

research* not reason

How do I always miss typos like this that autocorrect probably made worse?

If your computer can get BSoD'd from server side messages, your computer isn't very good.
