Do you ever crave for burn your PC out?

I wouldn't Happy
Usually, I'm calm, but I heard that many stories when people flied into a rage. Do you see that video, where one crash his computer out and then drop display off? I'm accurate and I care about my things.
So, I thougnt out a program, that will burn my computer, slightly. I have a lot of ideas how to improve it, but I do not sure, that it will be pleasant tool. And, against I wished, this program quiets me. Em, I mean, when you see at fire... you can see it more and more and more...
So, what do you think about?

Firstly I don't see how software would cause a computer to catch fire.

Secondly, why would anyone want to do that?

Do you realy use Windows95?
I scrolled down, I found fire screensaver. Yes, but that screensaver locks your screen and you can work when it is working, my program works at bottom of the screen quietly, it looks like your taskbar is firing. I saw fire screensaver, it uses fade_to_red effect with moving drawn picture up. I tried to make more natural fire, I saw slow mo guys videos about fire Happy I use random-oqaque flares(about 2,5 per pixel) and sum them, then, I inflict gradient to density of fire, like PhotoShop does it in Gradiant Map. Also, I reduce calculations as much as I can to make it workable in background. One my XP works in 0%, Win7 with wide screen use 0-1-2%
Well, anyway, thanks for the talk Happy
