If you asked this before 2000 I'd probably want to smack you, but these days your harddrive is about the only thing that will really get hurt. It's most definitely not good for your computer and you may start running into corrupted files but hardware wise beyond the drives you should be safe.
If your hardware isn't cooling down sufficiently after shutting down then that sounds like you've got an airflow problem, the trickle of power that's still being used by the computer is nowhere near enough to overheat a video card. And unless you've got a faulty power supply it should be drawing almost nothing.

Okey good that somebody understands what im saying =)
As i understand from what you've said it's fine if i turn off the comp and then pull out the cable so there is no chance of any power getting into the computer but otherwise it injures the comp. Right, right? Good to get that clear.
Anyhow about that with graphic card, im not sure if it's the symptoms of graphic card being overheated, but what i get is that dark fields on the screens colors start to run green, Spring Green Grass color short lines that constantly moves, few friends said that because of the graphic card is getting overheated. For example if i woke up had my comp running and let it running in the night cause i download stuff then next day in the evening i get this problem, but sometimes even i get this simply in the evening after running my comp about 6-12 hours straight (depends dunno on what). I had another graphic card which burned out and they repalced it with another one, dont know if new or not. But the old graphic card had same sympthoms but was reacting quicker and had lots of green but it was an older graphic card (geForce 7500LE now i got GeForce 7600GT). I dont know guys but it would be awesome if you could help me out with this and tell me waht i can do to prevent this or repair this.
