MS Manual of Style (2nd Ed.) suggests: "fail" for disks or "stop responding"
for programs.

Would someone help me find a more (marketing) politically correct word
for "crash" . . . as in when a software crashes.

I'm thinking of using the term "interrupted." For example, "If for some
reason (name of software) is interrupted and shuts down, you can . . . "

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks
