ive been playing around with overclocking , only Ram and CPU , is it possible that messing around with voltages would damage my onboard LAN ? I cant connect to the internet suddenly, but device manager says that it is operating normally, and it just times out when trying to connect to my router.

Try using another, unOCed computer with your router (like a laptop). It's possible you're only have issues with your connection and/or router.

Its not a router prob, wired works on another pc and my PS3. I unpluguged my PC from power and flipped the hard power switch on the back and left it sitting for 5 hours and just turned it back on.

Magically my NIC Ethernet works now... how odd. Maybe some motherboard setting flipped out and it got reset?

Possibly. On something like this, you should have immediately went back to stock speeds to check your ethernet port.

Normally if any files got corrupted just, Go into device manager, remove it and restart the computer and it will be reinstalled when Windows boots back up.
