Damage

[jagex117]

I have been reinstall my computer a few times this week. My mum just getting mad and said reinstall that much will damage the computer. I want to know is it true?

Depends if you are trying to install something off the internet it could damage the computer, If you are having to continually re-install your OS on your computer then your Hard Drive is damaged, if it is a game or something off a CD then it shouldn't damage your computer.

Then why post?



But, no, unless you have a virus/trojan or are installing something from the internet there is no chance that it will damage your computer. Even if you have a virus or trojan, the chances of it actually affecting an OS or program install are almost zero.
