Question by bhurishrava: Does excessive computer gaming harm computer hardware?
I’m not very fund of pc gaming, but wish to play the FIFA Football Manager 10 from EA Sports, after a friend recommended it. But I’ve been instructed about attainable hardware issues that lengthy hours of gaming deliver to a computer. I have 4GBs of RAM however no graphics accelerator card. Please additionally recommend if this sport will run in my computer with or without hassles.

Best answer:

Answer by avsv1077
When you’ve got four gigs of RAM I’m guessing you have a fairly first rate video card, so that you shouldn’t have an issue running it. The one thing I can think of that would hurt a computer while gaming is that if it gets too hot. When a computer overheats it wears on hardware so simply ensure you keep it cool. There are cooling mats you could purchase at tech shops for this.
