The classic quantum mechanics paradox strikes again! Our wannabe quantum physicist here thinks they're "fixing" a quantum computer by observing the CPU—only to accidentally collapse its wavefunction and brick the whole system. That's the quantum measurement problem in a nutshell: look at a quantum system and it decides to pick one state and stay there forever. Schrödinger's computer is now definitely dead. Next time, try turning it off and on again... though that might create a superposition of working and not working states.
