That would be 'spiking'
The non-technical term for the sudden failure of a computer is "crashed".
a Flash of light can be sudden. The word Flash has several meanings in English. Flash can also be used to describe a particular computer program. Flash can also be used to describe how well dressed a man is.
A power spike - also known as a power surge - could harm a computer if the computer's power supply has a low joule (unit of energy) rating. A power spike, a sudden increase in energy, can overwhelm a computer's power supply and cause too much electricity to flow to sensitive chips and processors and destroy them. To safeguard against power spikes a surge protector should be bought. A computer power supply with a high joule resistance rating would work as well.
Chances are this is happening when you are watching videos or playing music or games and if that is the case the computer is turning to fan on for a reason...and that is too cool the internal components that get hot when you do these activities.
When your computer freezes all of a sudden (no mouse response, no keyboard response, no response to CTRL-ALT-DEL on a windows system) then it is most likely that something's wrong with your computer hardware (ie. physical devices). This should be determined by an expert (who needs to test all components, like memory etc.). These kind of problems can occur regardless of the software programs you're running. Another possibility however is a software issue. On windows systems this can be determined by booting into safe mode (pressing F8 during start up). If the problem doesn't occur in safe mode, then you can start to determin what program or function causes the crash.
A sudden and dramatic increase in voltage typically caused by lightning is known as a power surge. Power surges can damage electrical equipment and appliances if they are not properly protected by surge protectors or other safeguards.
The condition you are referring to is called a power surge. Power surges can damage electronic equipment such as computers and TVs if not protected by surge protectors.
A spike is a sudden rise in current that then goes back to normal. Usually caused by a sudden increase in voltage that could be caused by a lightening strike, for example.
Avalanche breakdown in Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) refers to the rapid increase in current flow through the device due to high reverse voltage. This phenomenon occurs when the reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the SCR, causing a sudden breakdown of the junction and a rapid increase in current flow. Avalanche breakdown can damage the SCR if not properly controlled.
Sudden rise in Voltage is called Impulse voltage.
Acute refers to a sudden onset or short duration of a disease or condition, typically characterized by intense symptoms. It is the opposite of chronic, which refers to long-lasting or recurring conditions.
Often, this is due to a sudden increase in the load current due, for example, to the the starting current of a motor which has been switched on -this causes a temporary increase in the voltage drop along the line, which is often noticed when the lights in a property temporarily dim. Other causes could be due to external sources, such as a neighbour operating welding equipment.
Baby boomer. This refers to people born in the 50's (maybe late 40's). This was a time when there was a boom or sudden increase in the birth rate.
it is electrical device connected with high voltage current grids in order to protect the system from sudden drop or sudden change is voltage.
A Spike is a sudden increase in voltage that lasts for a very short period and exceeds 100% of the normal voltage on a line. Spikes can be caused by lightning strikes, but can also occur when the electrical system comes back on after a blackout.
Yes, paroxysm can refer to a sudden occurrence or intensification of a symptom like convulsion, seizure, or spasm. It is often used to describe a sudden and intense outburst or episode of a condition.
In finance, "ramp" typically refers to a sudden increase or acceleration in a metric, such as stock prices or trading volume. On the other hand, "flat" refers to a period where there is little to no growth or change in the value of an asset or market.
