You can allocate a huge amount of ram by executing :

while True:
    for i in range(0,100000000):
        Gig = 1024*1024*1024*2#A Gig multiplied by 2
        a = 787878788888888888888888888888 * (i * Gig)
        a = a * i
        print str(a)*2

I found this code freezing my pc in 5 minutes
Save it in a .pyw for background ram allocation
If it doesn't freeze your pc try increasing the a's value
To stop it quickly,Save this code in a .py file:

#First we send signals
os.system("TASKKILL /im pythonw.exe")
os.system("TASKKILL /im python.exe") 
print "Forcefull termination"
#Now we forcefully terminate
#pythonw.exe if running in idle or background
os.system("TASKKILL /im python.exe /f")
os.system("TASKKILL /im pythonw.exe /f")
os.system("pause")
