Restart hurt pc health?

When you install a program that needs restart, close all other things.
When you install an OS you will need one or two restarts (that's normal)
But if you have opened 6 different programs and it stops... try task manager before you restart!
After 24 restarts for 2 hours, my motherboard was dead.
It hurts!

P.S.
Sorry for my English.

many people restart that much (or a bit less lol) in the same amount of time you did, often when i am tweaking the bios i restart a LOT and i have never noticed a difference.

oh and g25racer, i think what you are noticing might be more of a placebo affect rather then an actual difference, though there may be one.

the way I am thinking it is that the power supply is there not only for providing the hardware with the necessary power but also to save the hardware for all those sudden up/down, on/off allowance of the electricity. And if you see when we shut down the pc and unplug it, press again the start button to see that there is some electricity in the circuits. When restarting the pc this power is not leaving the circuits so they still "work"...
