I'm afraid video games cannot do any damage to your computer, unless you look at it in an indirect fashion. Such as, you buy a game and install it, play it for a year, and over time, the video game's graphics requirements causes your graphics card to break in some way, or if you install a huge video game and your hard drive just doesn't have enough room left after installing it. That'd leave it sluggish.



The only way for a video game to do direct harm to your computer is if the game is pirated, meaning there is a chance a virus or some additional software has been attached to the video game, or if you just straight torrent it off of some site.



And yes, video games can slow down your computer, but only when you're playing them, and maybe shortly afterward.



I'd hate to say it, but no one is going to do a scientific study on whether or not video games can damage your computer, because they can't. You'd be better off searching for some research on whether or not video games cause brain damage than this. Sorry.
