They at least got that part sort of right with Star Trek's M5. There

Kind of fun watching Kirk out psych it, though.

More often than not, it is necessary to shoot the computer.

Killing a computer by shooting it:

The Squire of Gothos
That Which Survives
A Taste of Armageddon
The Apple
Who Mourns for Adonais?
Requiem for Methuselah

Killing a computer by confusing it:

The Ultimate Computer
The Return of the Archons
The Changeling
I, Mudd

I don't really remember it.

When I was a kid we had box fans in the windows with metal blades. I'd
