screen freeze
Computer image stuck
A screen freeze is when a computer or device display becomes unresponsive, stuck on a single image while ignoring all input.
The system may recover on its own, or require intervention—waiting, force-quitting an application, or restarting entirely.
My laptop had a screen freeze right in the middle of the presentation.
