i looked for it in the dictionary but found so many meanings and i don't know what is the right one in this sentence

This is hard to answer because it depends on what you are fixing. (That is why you found so many meanings) But generally speaking I would say that Brake would be the opposite of fix. If you brake your computer, you fix it.

I'm not really a high-tech expert, but I believe that a computer crashes.

By the way, I think the original break/brake conflict was just a simple error, because they sound the same (break being the correct word).
