Act up
means to behave badly or cause problems. It can refer to both people (especially when they misbehave) and things like machines or devices that stop working properly.
Examples:
1- At the party, Sarah’s dog started acting up, running around and knocking over the drinks!
2- During a concert, Adele’s microphone started acting up, causing some audio issues, and she had to pause for a couple of minutes to fix it.
