Halt and catch fire
Create a program that crashes as soon as possible, with as few lines of code as possible. Be smart and don't damage your computer, ok?
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

ALGOL W
This won't halt the CPU but the program will crash immediately on startup. <lang algolw>assert false.</lang>
6502 Assembly
Upon executing this byte as code, the processor will halt. No interrupts can occur either. This does not occur on 65c02-based hardware such as the Apple II or Atari Lynx. <lang 6502asm> db $02</lang>
8086 Assembly
Disabling interrupts prior to a HLT command will cause the CPU to wait forever.
<lang asm>cli
hlt</lang>
68000 Assembly
The 68000 can only read words or longs at even addresses. Attempting to do so at an odd address will crash the CPU. <lang 68000devpac>CrashBandicoot equ $100001 LEA CrashBandicoot,A0 MOVE.W (A0),D0</lang>
REXX
<lang rexx>=</lang>
Z80 Assembly
The processor is permanently halted. Strangely enough, this does not work on the Game Boy. Rather, both the HALT instruction and the instruction after it are skipped.
<lang z80>di
halt</lang>
