Of course.
The literal (except "fuck", which doesn't have a corelate in German) translations of your idioms are:
- Was zum Teufel/zur Hölle tust du da?
- Wo um alle[s in der] Welt glaubst du, dass du hingehst?
- Wer zum Teufel hat meinen Computer zugemacht?

@puck No, it doesn't work in English either. It seems like a strange limitation where all the interrogative words work except which. So I wondered if the same constraints held in German. It appears that they do.
