Contact the invigilator at once. If your computer does not work, there is always a pair of computers for loan in the exam hall.

If you have had network contact all the way until your computer crashed then everything is saved and you can just continue where you were.

My computer suddenly locked itself!

Usually it is enough to just press refresh, but if it does not work, the invigilator will help you so that you can borrow a computer to continue with the exam (see question above).
