DID I FRY MY CPU?? compt wont boot after overclock!

I recently tried to overclock my i7 920 to 3.8ghz, it was stable at 3.4, so i upped the clock and the voltage very slightly. restarted and now windows 7 will not boot, it begins to and then a blue screen flashes quickly, then the comp restarts. I tried everything, resetting the BIOS to defaults, removing the battery, clearing CMOS, nothing seems to work, it always flashes a BSOD and then crashed. i cannot get it to boot... do i need a new CPU?

i cannot boot into safe mode, and my memory was stable before the attempted overclock of the cpu, the only thing i changed before the problem started was the BLCK and cpu voltage. I upped the vcore from like 1.255 to 1.265... didnt think that was a very big increase. but i can do nothing except watch it flash a bsod and restart now

CORRECTION: i CAN boot into safe mode now, just tried again hitting f8. so i guess its not fried.. but idk why it wouldnt boot

Are you certain you cleared the CMOS? Did you confirm that all the modified settings were reset?

i cleared it alright. all settings in BIOS are now at default. it boots fine now that i told it to go back to "last good settings". but the problem now is that my internet connection will not work lol... is there a reason for that?

ok uh... how do i do that lol. i couldnt find an option for that on my motherboard driver CD... and i cant get online. how do i get my internet back up?

I would recommend a clean installation of windows. Wipe the whole drive clean and start over.

i really really dont want to do that.... that would take days of reinstalling everything.... theres gotta be an easier way to get those drivers. also the WAN miniport, IPv6, and network monitor drivers are absent...

it's the dangers of overclocking, stuff can go wrong, the fact it is a bsod sounds like it is a windows problem. imprezawrx500
