Answer 1

This behavior where you attempt to use the same computer again and again in hopes that it is now working exemplifies extinction.

In psychology, extinction refers to the gradual weakening of conditioned responses that cause behavior to diminish or disappear. This means that the conditioned response will be weakened and the target will eventually stop working and disappear. This is usually achieved by withdrawing the unconditional stimulus. Extinction has the same meaning as learned behavior. Extinction is the eventual cessation of conditional action associated with another event.
