Battery won't charge and overloads the alternator. The extra load on the 100+ AMP alternator wears out the belt and stops turning the water pump pulley. Engine overheats.
Not on the SVX though as that belt only turns the alternator and power steering. Water pump is driven by the timing belt.

Probably could happen on a GM though.
