Ripping your keyboard out after a particularly annoying BSOD and beating your computer case with it until the keyboard breaks in half and spews keys all over the room will not damage your hard drive.  Therefore, I find it highly unlikely that the combination of keystrokes you listed would have that effect.


NOTE:  Using your keyboard as a blunt weapon may void its warranty.

That's not true, but hitting ALT F4 will increase your available system memory.
