Can putting a bad processor (socket 370)...

Yes,
Say your processor has an internal short, it could burn open a trace from the cpu voltage regulators in the motherboard (just one example).
If your motherboard cpu power regulators are putting out too much voltage because a reference resistor has changed, poof there goes your cpu(again just one example).
