Explanation

Computer viruses are software programs that operate at the software/application level. They can corrupt programs, delete files, and cause disk crashes through file system damage, but they cannot physically damage hardware components like the motherboard. The motherboard is physical hardware - viruses cannot cause it to crash in a hardware sense. This is a key distinction between software and hardware damage.
