(Red Oak) During a Tuesday report to the Board of Supervisors, Montgomery County Auditor Jill Ozuna indicated that the County’s computer server experienced 100 percent CPU usage when it went offline on April 8 and 9. CPU usage is often a sign of the processor’s level of stress.

She says that after the servers were back online and stabilized, power was accidentally disconnected from one due to the relocation of a battery backup unit. The power cable was nudged, which caused another abrupt shutdown, which crashed the primary courthouse server.
