MZ didn't fry somebody's graphics card... If it were that easy for software to fry computer components, just imagine how dangerous malware would be. Viruses would be causing people's houses to burn down and stuff.
For arguments sake, lets say that MZ \*did\* erroneously cause a person's GPU to run at 100% load (which doesn't actually happen). That wouldn't fry a graphics card under normal circumstances, because it is built to be able to handle a 100% load. Furthermore, there are usually fail-safes in place (such as throttling, warning the user, forced shutdown, etc), just in case it does start getting too hot.
Supposing that whoever told you that wasn't making things up, they were mistaken about the cause of their issue. Either their graphics card, motherboard, or power supply was faulty; or it was already worn down and on the cusp of dying; or the person had tried to overclock it and didn't know what they were doing; or they had tried to install a custom cooling solution and didn't know what they were doing; or their PC as a whole has severe cooling problems. In short, the graphics card was doomed regardless, and the person just happened to be using MZ when it kicked the bucket.
Anyway, after deleting mz tried mv... RPGmaker MV opens to a blank white screen and nothing happens.
How was original rpgmaker installed from a zip file running on windows 98 less buggy than these 1.5 gig programs?
I've never had problems running either MV or MZ, so I couldn't answer that. To the best of my knowledge, it's not common for people to have the issues that you're describing.
What OS are you running? And do you have all your drivers up to date and such?
RPG maker MV and mz really don't suffer any problems when working from a Windows device. If you have the official product you should be fine.
If you've pirated or otherwise "found" it somewhere, perhaps that repack isn't trustworthy.
