a. c. nielsen equipment causing damage to outlets

I became a member of the Nielsen tv monitoring group, The tv is is in my living room on a back-to-back wall in my kitchen. Only the tv was on when I tried to make a cup of coffee with my Keurig machine. The GFC blew but the button did not pop and could not be reset. I have to wait 5 days for an electrician; no tv and I have to make coffee at another outlet on the floor. Could the pretty large amount of Nielsen equipment have caused an overload or short to my electric lines? One gfc and two regular outlets are affected in my kitchen and do not work anymore. My place is 17 years old. Do these outlets just "go bad?"
