Solve : Computer parts frying...?

1.	Solve : Computer parts frying...?
Answer» Following up on the HDD forum. What would a software have to do to make a piece of hardware cause sparks and explode into flame? Many viruses already are capable of destroying parts. ROB already mentioned "thrashing." I believe a SIMILAR method can be done with memory cards as well. But like in movies when computer literally explode and start steaming....that's got to be a movie technique. The only explanation i can THINK of is...having an oxygen tank in the computer.....CODES open it and release gas, then have the computer work at extremely high rates overheating, the heat will ignite a piece of paper resting on the CPU. The computer will catch flame and start destroying internal wires and parts CAUSING a blazing sparking reaction. That's my guess, but besides codes that just overload parts, i have never seen a computer work so crazily.What was the point of this post? :-? good question.PPP
