Describe a time when your computer broke down

You should say

When it was?
What you were doing?
What you did about it?
And how you felt about it?

This happened to me about a year ago. Actually, I have two computers. One is a desktop, and the other is a laptop. My desktop is very old, and a laptop is brand new. It so happened that my cousin had to prepare an assignment, and he asked me for my laptop for a few hours. His computer was not working very smoothly. Initially, I hesitated to give him because I am very possessive about it. But then I thought of helping him. So I agreed to give him. The next day when he came to pick up the computer, I tried to start it to show him some unique functions on my computer to make it easier for him to use. To my surprise, my laptop did not start. I was shocked and taken aback. I tried hard to restart it, but it was vain. My cousin was very upset, and first, he thought that I am doing it purposely. I called the computer technician, and he said he will solve the problem, but it will take a week. I called my friend, who is a hardware engineer, and he said the same. I was helpless because I could not do anything to repair it urgently. I was disappointed and confused as to what must have gone wrong with the machine. It was frustrating and irritating, and I also felt worried and anxious about losing important data and pictures. I gave my laptop for repair and, I offered my cousin to use my desktop. He was thankful and happy. Later on, my computer got repaired, but it cost me a lot of time, money and energy. I learnt that such high gadgets are handy, but we should not rely on them entirely. Though I did not lose any of my data, I learnt a lesson to take back up in hard disks. After this episode, my computer broke down twice, but I took regular back up of data.
