No, except in exceptional circumstances, such as a power failure.

Ruin seems quite a strong word! Modern PCs are designed to cope with sudden power-loss - for example during a power cut, but it isn't recommended to simply power a PC off as any applications that are running won't save their work and the operating system won't be shut down properly. There's also a chance that the hard drive(s) could be damaged as their heads won't be parked properly, although modern drives are designed to be self-parking.
