The fastest but dangerous way, would be to plug a power chord into some of the motherboard's connections. Some motherboards allow to tweak overclocking settings from the BIOS setup, so it might be possible to set the power and frequencies very high, cuasing the motherboard to fry.

This can be done a few ways, but the most common is usually dust. Dust allows the board and circuits to overheat or short out. Other ways are from overclocking which is allowing more power to flow through the board to gain performance. This can cause the board to become hot and overheat.
