The “Yes” test is the most cited and most recommended CPU stress test for Mac for as long as I can remember. It is still used by computer repair shops and even the Genius Bar today. It’s not a test that puts a CPU through its paces, but if anything it will test the cooling system and show you if it’s able to keep the CPU from overheating.

Mac OS X crash? You must be kidding right? I mean it happens, but it's very very rare and it most likely has to do with a third party software or some sort of hardware problem. If your thinking about overloading the CPU's to make Mac OS X crash I don't think it can be done. I've run three hundred programs at once and each took their time waiting for their turn at the CPU's and the apps themselves crashed waiting so long. So that's not going to work.
