Do video games deteriorate your computer?

From what I've heard computers will age over time but lots of usage (such as graphic-heavy video games) age the computer faster.

From personal experience I've broken two computers by doing nothing but playing Minecraft and other video games for about 6 months. The computer starts getting minor problems before bluescreen crashing occasionally, and then bluescreen/blackscreen/whitescreen crashing so often that the computer becomes unusable.

The real reason why I want this question answered is because I really want to play Minecraft. I've already been playing some FPS's and the AC series on my new Win8 computer (desktop). In the past, whenever I start playing Minecraft, the computer I'm using starts breaking down really fast. I want to get back to Minecraft but I don't want my computer to be broken. Maybe it's just a huge coincidence. I don't know.

BTW one laptop, one desktop
