Its plausible. You've got more than enough anecdotal evidence showing its potentially dangerous.
I'm doubtful a company that does DRM would admit their software that breaks machines. I doWin 7 loader free download. however find that there's no support for versions under 3.07.018, 3.07.018 – 5.0 needs a software update, and newer versions should work.
Considering DRM often has deep hooks in systems, its plausible a badly written driver could break a system.
I recommend that if you must use software that runs this DRM, to use it on a period accurate system, or at least back up prior to installation in case it breaks everything.

Journeyman GeekIt is very true since my friend and I experienced it ourselves. It prevented the OS from booting and Windows was stuck in the Preparing Automatic Repair loop.

Not many people know about the Starforce DRM hence local IT managers here would not be able to fix my PC and I would have to perform a clean OS install. /episodic-ataxia-treatment.html.
I suggest not installing anything with the Starforce DRM unless entirely necessary and better use an older system for it.Edit: mentioned OS is Windows 10 and the game is World Racing 2
