Re: Can a computer virus kill the CPU?

Huh? On Windows you've got ASPI and SPTI. Or you simply load your own
driver. After all, you only have to keep things cool if you don't want to
end up with a messed-up firmware. Who cares for a memory relocation? Just
makes another bunch of garbage overwrite the firmware.

Most hardware does this automatically and can't be broken in that
way.

(And testing of the virus is still expensive)
