A crash is a failure break. Maybe you've heard it used as hang or bomb. ("My computer just bombed," or "My computer is hung up in Never-Never land." is a favorite term when we're writing programs at home and we do an 'oops!')

A crash is a serious computer failure of hardware or software like a hardware malfunction or a very serious software bug. A computer crash means that the computer itself stops working or that a program aborts unexpectedly. #1 thing to remember: If your computer crashes, it is not your fault. If the program is fine and your hardware is working correctly, there is nothing you can do to make your system crash.
