which part of the computer cannot be damaged by a computer virus
Answers
hi,
Depending on the operating system, the virus (malware), and the intent, it is likely not much although it would be a stretch to complete. In most cases it's unlikely any hardware (post, disk, memory) would be damaged. A good wipe and reinstall (including bios etc) and you'd be back up and running in most probability.

No. Computer viruses are software code designed to spread to computer files and other computers, delete files, and cause other problems with the data on the computer. If you're experiencing an issue with a hardware device, such as a printer, video card, sound card, or other hardware device, it is not due to a virus.
That being said, a virus could corrupt data on the computer, including the software drivers that are used to allow hardware devices to communicate with the computer. If this were to occur, it may prevent the device from working, but it would not physically damage the hardware.
If you are experiencing a hardware issue, make sure you have the latest drivers installed on the computer. You may also want to try to reinstall the drivers. For a listing of drivers, and download links to manufacturer websites, see our drivers index.
