Fake Broken Comp?

The_Jelly · 12-30-2006, 05:26 AM

Anyone know of any program or something of the sort that would make the user think that the computers broken? I'm having relatives over in a few days and I don't want anyone touching my computer. +rep for anyone who can find me something like that.

You could make a Autoit program that displays a image of a BSOD over your entire screen until you hit escape?

unplug and hide your computer, then replace it with 3 pizza boxes duck taped together, then perhaps draw a few buttons and a disk tray??

BIOS setup password protection, comp won't go past posting without a password.
Say you "Forgot it".
Unless your relative know how to flash a BIOS without using the BIOS and somehow always carry a boot disk with a BIOS that happens to work with your mobo.
Remove the password after.

Leave a floppy in drive and reboot. Computer wont start up because it tries to execute it.

gamepin126 · 12-30-2006, 05:53 AM

you could...

-unplug IDE cable from the HDD
-unplug the power on switch on the case, from the mobo
-remove the heatsink(evil)
-remove RAM
-delete the boot.ini (backup first)
-delete hal.dll(backup first)

I'll post more when I think of it

How about the big bright orange switch on the power supply and just say the power supply blew out, Nobody ever thinks to turn the switch on it was a great prank in school.

I like GPs idea of unplugging the IDE cable.

gamepin126 · 12-30-2006, 06:18 AM

-Unplug the heatsink fan (evil)
-or all the fans (kinda suspicious)
-take some pliers and pullout/smash all the pins in the monitor's cable (f*cking homo)

Why dont you just password protect your login, and make it so no one can create guest account?
