A Computer bought the farm is an error message displayed on GNU/Hurd when one of the servers that provide kernel-like functionality reaches a "hopeless" situation (after which it is usually terminated). This is roughly the equivalent of a kernel panic in monolithic Unix-like kernels. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer bought the farm"

A crash in computing is a condition where a program (either an application or part of the operating system) stops performing its expected function and also stops responding to other parts of the system. Often the offending program may simply appear to freeze. If this program is a critical part of the operating system kernel the entire computer may crash (a system crash). ...more on Wikipedia about "Crash (computing)"
A Crash to Desktop (or CTD) is a computer program crash which is said to occur when a full screen program (usually a game) in a Graphical User Interface environment unexpectedly quits, abruptly taking the user back to the desktop. Usually, the term is applied only to crashes where no error is displayed, hence all the user sees as a result of the crash is the desktop. ...more on Wikipedia about "Crash to Desktop"
A custom error page is a feature of most Web server software that allows you to replace default error messages with ones you create. The default error messages tend to be fairly generic, and not particularly user-friendly, so making custom messages for your site is recommended. ...more on Wikipedia about "Custom error page"

In computer programming, error codes are enumerated messages that correspond to faults in a specific software application. They are typically used to identify faulty hardware, software, or incorrect user input in programming languages that lack exception handling, although they are sometimes also be used in conjunction with exception handling. Error codes are not to be confused with return codes, although both are commonly used together in error handling. Some of the most severe error codes visible to users are the " Blue Screen of Death" codes provided by the Microsoft Windows operating systems. ...more on Wikipedia about "Error code"
An error message is a message displayed when an unexpected condition occurs, usually on a computer or other device. Error messages are often displayed using dialog boxes. Error messages are used when user intervention is required, indicate that a desired operation has failed, or give very important warnings such as being out of hard disk space. Error messages are pervasive throughout computing, and are part of every operating system, software application, or computer hardware device. Proper design of error messages is an important topic in usability and other fields of human-computer interaction. ...more on Wikipedia about "Error message"

When this happens, you may lose the data that the program was processing at the time of the error. A fatal error occurs typically in any of these cases: ...more on Wikipedia about "Fatal error"
In computing, either a single computer program or the whole system may hang. This means that either just this process or the whole system is unresponsive to keyboard and mouse input. The window concerned or the whole computer screen becomes static, in the latter case including the mouse cursor. Contrast with crash, where a program exits abnormally with an error message. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hang"

A syntax error refers to an error in a statement's syntax. This term is used mostly in association with programming languages or command line interfaces. In compiled programming languages, a syntax error is a fatal error that the programmer must correct before being able to fully compile the program. Some IDEs are able to display syntax errors in real-time. ...more on Wikipedia about "Syntax error"
