The fastest way is (on some builds of hammer) making a new vmf -> Tools -> Debug -> Crash Hammer

It's not entirely to your specs, but novel procedures that crash/terminate Hammer on boot are fun to discuss. Launching TF2 Hammer and selecting the Half-Life 2 game configuration:

I would have just opened the material browser and then scrolled down until the texture memory is completely filled up.
Alternatively, load all three ABS prop libraries.

Make a brush, select it, press x to enable 3d editing, fly inside the brush, click and drag the void in the 3d viewport
