Not if it is designed and installed properly. Even if you overload a circuit, the most that should happen is a tripped breaker. Panels are designed such that even fault current from a direct short, which can be tens of thousands of amperes, will be safely interrupted. All bets are off however, if the panel has been tampered with or improperly designed or installed.

What would cause circuit breaker to trip in new box from old box?
A circuit breaker will trip if it is faulty or if the connected circuit has a short circuit or a connected device is trying to draw more current than the breaker rating. If you disconnect the output wire from the breaker and it still trips, it is a faulty breaker. If the breaker is tripping immediately when it is turned on then start disconnecting elements of the circuit to see what might be causing the problem. If everything was working and now isn't, it is likely that the wire from the breaker is nicked where it exits the box and is shorting to the feedthru connector.

Would you be able to run sixteen TVs and sixteen games consoles in my house I am worried my house won't be able to cater for these due to a lack of electricity or maybe it blows the power HELP?
It depends on how big the breaker box is for your house, in my old house i couldnt have all the lights on at once because it would blow a fuse and i would have to go outside and mess with the breaker box. considering its 16 tvs AND game systems i would say unless you are rich and have a HUGE HUGE house with a breaker box made for a hospital then most likely you will blow a fuse when attempting to turn them all on. Its not the smartest choice. When you blow a fuse all or most of your lights will go out and unless you know where your breaker box is and how to fix it then i dont recommend you trying that much at one time.

Is it ok to change a breaker box in a house from 2 fuses at 50amps to one at 50 and one at 35 amps?
