Can gameing on the PC hurt your pc at all?

For the past couple weeks since I bought fallout 3 My pc has been having problems such as when watching downladed movies the screen will tear get fuzzy colors as such, and I would have to reboot the comp.

note my video card is nvidia 8600 with 512 mbs of graphics memoery

PCs, despite what anyone might believe, don't suffer any real form of "wear and tear". PC Gaming doesn't hurt your computer. If something is wrong, it's due to a component. And likely that component is was a lemon in the first place, because PC hardware typically lasts a long time. The first PC I've ever used, to this day, still works. Just be sure to not bog it down with unnecessary software and run programs such as CCleaner and Spybot: Search and Destroy occasionally.GodLovesDead
