Uploading Photoes and Electric Usage

Hi:
After two different persons having uploaded with two different computers at
the same time, a Fuse blew up. A house was built in the early '70 and so
does all electric system in the house.

Wonder whether 'too many photoes' uploading on two different computers
affect electricity?

Thanks for any clues on this would be greatly appreciated.

Very unlikely. The power consumption of a PC varies only slightly with high
CPU usage. Turning on an extra 60W globe has a greater effect. The fuse may
have been close to melting for some time and coincidence has it that it blew
just at that moment.

We need more information e.g. whether a fuse blew in one of the
PCs or a fuse blew in the household electricity supply. (Power
interruptions can cause hard drive malfunctions, although rare
in WinXP and modern HDDs.)

PC power demand is unlikely to cause household fuses to blow.

No, it doesn't.

YOU might need more info, but you're obviously not a very good reader.
The OP referenced the house's age and electric system, so even a 5th
grader would know a house fuse was blown.
 
No. (I suspect someone else turned on a TV or electric heater on the same
circuit.)

you must plug in the hair dryer, unplug the fridge first".
