None of those appear to have caused permanent damage to the video card,
but I reckon they could be interpreted as 'trashed the video card'.
Perhaps that is what jonathan was referring to?

It would take a big leap of the imagination to stretch those problems to "your system can be bricked by the upgrade process".

Jonathon also wrote in an earlier post:

     "If you are not willing to have to buy new hardware, because it
   was bricked beyond fixing, then you are a "normal user". "

The bugs you listed caused temporary problems and are a long way from what Jonathon claimed.
