I don't know if any Nvidia hardware is in that category, but I would not be surprised. But we have seen it in other places, such as the original Motorola 6800 processor with the HCF (Halt Catch Fire) instruction opcode, or early CRT monitors that blew up if the graphics card was set to inappropriate timebase frequencies. (Actually, I hear that a similar problem is back, after 20 years, with certain flat panel monitors, where there is far less excuse.)
