Create a small server/metamod/sourcemod plugin that runs into an infinite loop. Should be the easiest way to get a lock-up.

Re: [hlds] Need help crashing my own server on purpose
Well, running CSGO over a week used to do the trick (server crashed to memory error) but i'm not sure if it works like that anymore, since i haven't had any crashes for ages. You could try to reproduce this with changing maps to different ones time after time and let the 20 bots spawn in before you change the map again. -ics big john kirjoitti: I was actually just going to post this as I am doing the same thing.

Re: [hlds] Need help crashing my own server on purpose
Install the DHooks extension on a server that uses SourceMod 1.5.x and a plugin that uses DHooks, type sm exts list then sm exts unload number where number is the number next to DHooks in the extension list. Boom, instant crash.

Re: [hlds] Need help crashing my own server on purpose
Get another player on the server, turn sv_cheats on, look at the player and type ent_remove into console. The server will try to remove the player, causing it to crash. Usually works without fail.
