Viruses that fry mother boards..do they exist?

I have had 2 mother boards cook in 24 hours and the only common link between the 2 computers is the hard drive. If the virus is in the hard drive when it was taken out of the computer and put in the second one could it do the same damage? Both computers are the same make, model, and year. When the first one"quit" (would not even power up at all), we took the hard drive out and put into another computer. It worked for 24 hours then the same thing happened. Push the button and nothing..no power going thropugh it all. The chip on the mother board of both computers is melted. We did some trouble shooting as far as the power cords,outlets, and things of that nature and all is in working order. The only thing anyone can think of is the hard drive ha a virus. HELP ME Please!!!

No. Viruses can reak havoc to your operating system. I heard rumors that a hard drive and RAM can be violated as well. A motherboard though would not make sense. It's just a circuit board that connects hardware to the computer. My guess is that something is causing it to over heat and burn out. Though, typically heating problems would affect the processor and video card. On the safe side, I would check the heat sinks, and the fan. If there is no problem there, just buy another computer tower.
