What does this mean on computer "FATAL ERROR"?

Question

I recently had my computer checked by the supplier for soft ware problems. Ever since this message appears sometimes apparently at random. Quote " FATAL ERROR X Object reference not set to an instance of an object. OK " Can any one tell me in plain English what this means. The title Fatal Error is very concerning to this dummy. If you can help please try and avoid computer jargon as far as possible .
