I wanted to know if you could possibly burn out an entire computer system by authorizing credit card

I work for a hotel and I was off two nights and came back the third night. I have been telling my gm that our credit card batch is not processing and I needed the IT to look at it to find our why our credit cards wasn%26#039;t being processed? The next morning she called me at home to tell me that the entire casino computer system was burned out b/c I tried to authorize credit cards settlements twice. I attended ITT technical school and I have never heard of such thing and I was wondering could it really do that or was it something he did and try to blame it on someone else? Only because she said it is going to cost her thousands of dollars just to fix?

At the very least, perhaps the credit card processing program had some technical problems related to a corrupt or broken down hard drive.

If the entire system was burnt up, that sounds more like a power failure like either a spike, or brown out, in the electricty. Is your system protected and using a UPS to protect the computer and it%26#039;s peripherals?

It sounds like she was just looking for an easy scape-goat to put the blame on you.
