Does la noire fry systems

Assuming you are using the PC version of LA Noire, to fry a system, you would have to have an operating system that does not shut down or stop when an error occurs. If you mean "does LA Noire make your system stop or shut down", then it is possible based on your system hardware. LA Noire taxes a low-end system quite harshly and may make the game simply crash or hang your system because it can't cope with the load.

(Currently, the PC version of the game is a port of the PS3 version and still taxes some high-end systems because of poor file handling of the game. There have been several suggestions and possibly a few unofficial fixes, but hopefully, Rockstar may fix this someday as many players are complaining.)
