I will say no not really. I had bsods all the time when vista first came out from crappy drivers from Nvidia. If it is something major it will constantly bsod.

Having blue screens itself is not damaging your PC, but a blue screen means that something is already "broken", or malfunctioning for some reason, and it could be hardware, or software, or a combination of both. Not tracking down and curing what is causing the blue screen could lead to more problems down the road for certain.

Bluescreens are a result, not a cause. If a virus is causing the failure, then yes, it can cause damage; however, if it's just a memory leak, than not really...
