Yesno, if you turn something off or on this will cause spikes. But the
stress by spikes and caused by different temperatures usually doesn't
damage a computer. Most computers that are thrown away still do work.
Spin ups and spin downs for hard drives are a real issue and always will
brake them after a while.
