Need help on how to break a computer that it is beyond repair whilst making it look like an accident. Something more permanent than deleting system 32, since windows can restore that. I need it to be incredibly frustrating, suicidal even. This purely educational of course :)

But... why?
>>
Unplug the 24pin connector from the motherboard while the computer is turned off, stick the plug a pot of water then turn the power supply on but make sure you're holding the pan up off the ground so it doesn't pickup conductivity from the ground

won't look exactly like an accident on examination but you can just assert that it was a random hardware issue
just act like a retarded windows baby (shouldn't be too hard for someone insurance claiming their GAYMING PC XDDD to get better parts) and claim that you don't understand what happened, you were using it and heard a big pop and everything turned off
>>
static schock the fuck out of everything you see

connect 230(or120) volt to the cpu and mobo
