It shouldn't affect the computer, which should be fully screened and earthed but it is possible. If the microwave is faulty, and the radiation finds its way onto the motherboard, it might zap a component. Might!

Operate the two together if you must. If the computer shows signs of distress - sudden crashes etc, then increase the distance between the two.
