The system crashing I didn’t know, does the computer plants itself or it plants you? in Spanish to plant someone or leave someone planted is to not show up on a date, so I would find it very funny if it was the latter.
Is the break up closer to dumping? I love to learn this kind on nuances.
I don’t speak french or Spanish, but in Italian “windows ti ha piantato” it has the same three nuances that op wrote. When a computer is “piantato” it means it’s frozen/crashed. Like it’s stuck, planted in the ground.
For example someone can shout “Cazzo!!! Questo cazzo di computer si è piantato e ho perso il salvataggio del cazzo! Cazzo!”
Also a girlfriend can “piantato” = break up or do no show on appointment. And also “piantato” main meaning is to plant something in the spil

I love to learn these kind of similarities between close languages.
“Ma petite amie m’a planté” is closer to “my girlfriend dumped me”, it’s a bit familiar. “Break up with X” could be “rompre avec X”
Thanks, one of these days I’ll find some time to get French lessons.
“L’ordinateur a planté” means the computer crashed. There’s no complement to the verb there, it just “planted.”
L’ordinateur a planté, now I get it.
After looking a couple of dictionaries what I was trying to ask is if it was “a planté” or “s’est planté”
Thanks
“se planter” is yet another meaning of the word, it’s slang for “make a mistake” or “have an accident” (usually involving a vehicle). E.g.:
Je me suis planté un clou dans le pied
