Technically yes, but not for very long, as the hardware components, most notably the processor, generate alot of heat inside the computer. If the internal heat of the computer gets too hot, it can actually MELT some of the hardware components, damaging the computer.

How do you operate a computer without the computer software?

You have to have some kind of software to operate a computer. For a computer to even know what to do when you power it on, there is software stored on a chip on the motherboard, called the bios. This tells the computer what disk drives and other components are connected so that it can do something. From the bios, the computer looks for software on a floppy, hard disk, or CD drive to run an operating system of some kind. It is possible to run a computer without software by typing commands in machine language. Even then, you need the software on the computer chip to operate the keyboard. The old VIC 20 and C64's operated in somewhat that way. To do anything you had to type in commands. Unless you are doing something very basic or sophisticated it is impractical to operate a computer without software
