First, how did your computer quit on you, a BSOD ? Electric Failure ? or other ?
Could you post the address that sent or received the 0.5 BTC ?
What happened here is that this wallet was restored with your master public key only, what you need to do is reinstall your electrum with your seed to regain your private keys.

Hope it will help.

Relax, as long as you have the seed, your bitcoins are safe. Open your Electrum and go to File > New/Restore, Enter a new name for the wallet or let it be "Wallet_1" as it shows in the field, in the next window "What do you want to do", select "Restore a wallet or import keys", click "Next", enter your seed in the subsequent windows, click "Next" add password if you wish in the next window and click "OK" and your wallet should restore and your bitcoins will show up there.
