Chess computer breakdown

I have found the same problem. That's why I try to play with humans whenever possible.

I was just wondering if I am alone or some of you out there have experienced the same thing. Many of the chess computers I play seem to play brilliantly until they come up against a strong disadvantage. Chess Titans on Vista (of course not a top line engine but...) even on its hardest setting seems almost to go into Kamikaze mode when it starts loosing badly and it will needlessly sacrifice pieces etc. I am not a programmer but I wonder why such a phenomena could exist on programs designed to coolly make rational moves regardless of the situation. It is almost like the computers become unnerved. Then again maybe it is just me...
