Computers can only do so much at once. Imagine you're trying to eat a big meal while running around the house, eventually, you'll get tired and fall over. A computer crash is like that: when it tries to do too many things at the same time, it gets confused or runs out of energy (memory), and everything stops working for a bit.
Examples
- It freezes while you're playing a video game and watching a movie at the same time.
- You click on an app, and instead of opening it, your screen turns blue.
