Just on my local machine, trying the run the following script causes my computer to crash... What am I doing wrong?

            (function($) {
            var count = '6824756980';
            while (count > 0) {
                setInterval(function() {
                    $('#showcount').html(Math.floor(count-1));
                    count--;
                }, 1000 );
            }
        })(jQuery);

All I need to do is subtract one from the var "count" and update/display it's value every second.
