A 'freeze' or 'Lockup' is when the computer stops responding to user input, and indicates a severe fault.
A 'crash' or 'error' is more common, and includes the infamous 'blue screen of death'.
'crash' should not be confused with 'hard crash'. A 'hard crash' is when the hard drive experiences physical failure, and is significantly more severe than a freeze, lockup, crash, error, or BSOD.
