Crash

A crash generally refers to a sudden, unexpected failure or collapse of a computer system, application, or software. It occurs when the program encounters an error it cannot recover from, causing it to stop working properly. Crashes can result from bugs, hardware issues, or resource limitations, leading to data loss or interruption of tasks. They are usually indicated by error messages or a frozen screen. Resolving a crash often involves troubleshooting the underlying cause, such as updating software, checking hardware, or examining logs to prevent future occurrences.
