well I did a newb move, I played with amd overdrive to improve gaming performance yep and i got my system to crash.. hooray blue screen... well at my first my pc was chasing its tail and kept rebooting crashing and rebooting, then i finally powered it on and off... barley logged in then i crashed, then tried again and crashed... then it gave my some repair options... i chose to do the restore point thing were it brings me back before my last installed program(amd overdrive) so i tried it... it had an error message saying how it didn't work... then i sighed logged into my user and it had a message saying that my pc was restored?... well now my pc is working great... i even tried it out on games(minecraft at 28 render distance no crashes and the 28 render distance pushes my system)... so do you think my pc is fine now? should i be worried? also before my system restore thing it crashed when i imminently logged in or just opened the web browser... now i have 4 tabs open and am playing a game...
 
i think it is ok now if it has been restored.
when overclocking, esp if you are a beginner, take it slow. don't just jump to your target speed. increase, test and test and test, increase and test and test. you test for stability mainly. also, voltages needs to be increased at certain points not just clock speed.

2 things to check, temperature and (more importantly) voltages. you dont want to fry your components
