[SOLVED] Can crashing a GPU

[nbartolo7]

or any other hardware part for that matter, by testing it and overworking it on purpose, damage it in the long-run? If I run stress tests a lot, and the computer crashes when GPU hits its limit, can this damage the actual hardware?

 

[sizzling]

Depends why it’s crashing. If it was from an inadequate/low quality power supply that could to damage.
