[General] We scan something too powerful, our computers spark and blow up. Something hits us which our shields deflect, our computers blow up. Doesn't this seem like incredibly bad engineering?

Those monitors have to have 3,000,000° plasma running though the decks to power the extremely advanced computers inside. This isn't your home PADD, these computers have to process subatomic phenomenon into something you can understand. Doing so for just the hundred meters in front of the ship uses more computer power than every computer on Earth in the 21st Century.

That the computer is room temperature in normal operation is a minor miracle of thermodynamic engineering. You add in weapons that make Hiroshima look like a sparkler and it is a wonder that sparks are all that come out, and not geysers of flesh melting plasma.
