Once I was interested in expressing that idea as well, and the word I found to be appropriate was 'glitch'. This is what I'd use now. My computer glitches sometimes.

Thank you Feebs11 and Ruslana for your help in all my threads.

Are my variations also correct with "hanged" and "freezes"?

(1) My computer hangs sometimes; (2) My computer freezes sometimes.

What about 'glitches', Feebs? (I picked up this word a while ago but I still have no idea whether it's fully correct.)

I would use "glitch" to mean "something that causes a temporary problem", rather than the full-scale termination itself.
