Anything is possible, but in my expirence a bad monitor won't hurt a
video card.

Its happened to me a few times, but then at the time I used to service
monitors for a living so I got all manner of weird & wonderful faults
to contend with!

I've seen a few cases where malfunctioning monitors caused computers to
completely freeze and have to be rebooted.

CRT flashover can do this or cause the PC to re-boot.
