Possible yes.
Chances of a 'normal' computer getting it, very very slim!
I did hear about one virus that mucked around with temperatures in your computer, and melted hardware - that type of virus is very rare, and i doubt you'll ever hear about anything like that - it doesn't do anything for the programmer, so not really used.
Viruses by nature destroy software, not hardware. But, you could run a "virus" that was an infinite loop, that did not allow for its termination, and that could possible lead to heat issues for the hardware. Possible damaging it.
No. Viruses generally attack software It would be nearly impossible for one to destroy hardware. Besides, the point of a virus is to spread, and it can't do that if it destroys the hardware its running on.
Linux is an operating system (ie software) and doesn't inherently have any processors (hardware)
A lytic virus will destroy its' host cell at the end of the lytic cycle.

A computer hardware engineer is involved in the design and development of systems and components. This would include hardware such as processors and circuit boards.
No. it is software.
No, McAfee virus protection is not hardware. Instead, it is a software program. Hardware is the physical parts of a computer, but software is computer code. So an antivirus program is software, not hardware.
Hardware innovations refer to advancements in physical technology components, such as processors, memory, sensors, and displays. These innovations can include improvements in performance, efficiency, size, and functionality of hardware devices. Examples include faster processors, longer-lasting batteries, and new sensor technologies.

Motherboard? or the connection technology? Older processors FSB, qpi, HT. newer Intel processors PCIE.
Your dick tissue.
