Euh, it seems to me more that the hardware has a bug which causes normal operation to damage it. As thus, i think that any damage done would be under the responsability of the manufacturer to repare or fix. This seems to be both the position of Bastian and Maximilian, and it seems reasonable. So, users of such hardware, please bother your vendor to either exchange it for a not broken one, or at least provide a bios upgrade which fixes the brokeness.
