Computers sometimes crash because they get too confused. Imagine you're trying to solve a puzzle, but someone keeps adding new pieces without telling you. Soon, you can't keep up, and that’s like what happens when a computer crashes. It gets overwhelmed by all the things it has to do at once.
Examples
- A computer crashes like when you're playing a game, but all of a sudden it freezes because it can’t handle the extra characters on screen.
- Your phone crashes if you open too many apps at once, it gets confused and stops working for a while.
- Sometimes your printer crashes when it tries to print a very long document with pictures all at once.
