Yes, dual booting can potentially damage the BIOS if not handled properly.

I once ran both Windows 10 and Manjaro Linux on my machine. It worked well for a while, using Windows for games and Linux for everything else. Later, I began experimenting with virtual machines on Linux (KVM with QEMU). Around that time, my system's BIOS crashed, forcing me to return the motherboard. I had to wipe out my Linux partition and switch back to Windows temporarily. Now I’m considering trying Linux again. The issue was unclear—was it linked to the VM, random, or due to dual booting? Many will roll their eyes at this situation, but I’m still learning. I’d appreciate some guidance on what might have caused it.
Probably the same for VMX or any other virtualization, it doesn't affect your filesystem on the partitions
