ways of saying "a computer froze up"

[lost_soul]

Hi,

I'm curious about the ways you use to say that your computer has sudenly become very slow, irresponsible to your commands (like you just ran a very big program which takes a lot of resourses).

Could you say "The darn thing froze up again !"
or "The computer hung again !!! I'm about to choke it out the window" ?

Or maybe you have your own favourite phrase, then I'd like to know it.

Thanks !

Hi Alex,

Hang-up is what I barely say in the similar situation. But your suggested option freeze up I like better now
