My computer has crashed!?
I was at a loss for words to find that my computer didn't work well.
"Oh-oh. What did I do wrong!?"
I managed to hook up the Internet, but my data including my friends' mail addresses and backups of my blogs were completely gone. I spent plenty of time to figure out what had happened, but my effort seemed to be useless.
"You shouldn't rely on a computer too much," my husband said.
"It sometimes turns on you."
You can say that again, but not now PLEASE!!
Finally, I found the backup for my computer and got my whole data back.
I didn't realize how much I count on my PC until it crashed. Our computers are very useful, but they can't be perfect like us.

What a relief that you had a backup to restore from! I've been caught without one before and it was a truly horrifying experience to realize I'd lost some things forever.
Regarding "turns on your back", I think you may have combined two common English phrases and made a new one. That's not a bad thing if you meant to do it, but I just want to double-check and make sure you know the originals:
to turn (one's) back on (someone) -- to reject, to abandon, to forsake
- I was counting on him, but he turned his back on me.
to turn on (someone) -- to suddenly become hostile towards
- We were best friends all through middle school, and then she turned on me in senior high.
Either one would be fine for what you wrote above since they both illustrate that your computer betrayed you.
....
(Important note: be sure not to get to turn on (someone) confused with to turn (someone) on.

Thank you very much! I'm so glad to hear you say it. （＾＾）
I'm not perfect to write English, but I've been trying to improve. Let me know if you find some mistakes in this blog!

I'm the lucky beggar in this world to have you here, Michael. What a wonderful teacher you are. Thank you so much! As you mentioned, I totally confused turn on with turn the back on.
When I'm writing English here, I make it a rule not to consult my dictionary too much. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it makes me stupid. XD

It's good that you had a backup. I have read stories from many people who had no backups, and lost everything when their computer stopped working.

Thank you! Last weekend, I couldn't think nothing but my personal computer. I was supposed to study for next English workshop! Oh, yes, this is just an excuse. Go easy on me. XO

I'm a big fan of your blog.
This is the first comment.
I've had a lot of problems with my PC.
I know how frustrating it can be.
I find incomprehensible messages and errors on my PC many times.
Anyway,looking foward to your blog.
