Well, where I come from if you fail at some thing you might say "I blew
it". You have heard of things like bombs blowing up? Well, the past
tense of blow is blew.

It blew/went suddenly: no sound or warning, but there was an evil odor.
Silent but deadly, the epitaph read. The computer suddenly shut down,
and then my UPS began to emit a keening wail.

I unplugged everything, put the patient on the table, and performed an
emergency PSU transplant. The operation was successful and I am using
the computer right now.
