Very strong magnetic field can make discovery of transistor hard or even not possible. Influence of magnetic field can make transistors hard to be usable and not possible to miniaturisation wich leads to no silicon computers at all. Lamp computers size are limited too.

Possible is a construction of mechanical computers but they will be big and heavy - can make them at orbit but taking them from planet will cost too much.

EDIT: Halls effect can be source of life to Your silicon race. Very strong magnetic field can be necessary on thier ships. This can lead to wiping all human computers when they get too close to thier ships :)
