Troubleshooting damaged component help

[Logstor]

Hey

 

I'm looking for somebody who knows a good troubleshooting method for hardware failure, which doesn't include replacing hardware. 

 

I've tried a maybe little harsh BCLK overclock. I made a 25% increase, and made it work by increasing the voltage on the VCORE, PLL, CPUVTT and RAM quite a bit. But I've a good CPU cooler, so my CPU went on about 90 Degre celsius, when testing in Prime95 for approx. 15 min. I concluded that is was fairly stable, and then I further tested the OC in BurninTest and 3Dmark. No failures or excessive high temps occured. 
After using my computer for some weeks with that Clock I think I could smell something burned. I then turned my clock and voltages back to standards. 1 day after I turned the clock back I experienced a "Blue Screen of Death", and then I'm pretty sure that it's a Hardware failure after my OC.

I'm not that type of person who has a lot of old working hardware lying around, so I'm searching for a method/way to troubleshoot which component I've damaged.

 

I hope some of you are able to help

Thanks you

try a cmos reset first.

try a cmos reset first.

Can you explain how it can help when I've set everything back to default? 

 

And thanks for the quick answer

[LabRat]

nope. just do it.

How much of a voltage increase did you use?

[Logstor]

How much of a voltage increase did you use?

voltages:

Vcore = 1.435V

CPUPLL = 1.900V

VTTCPU = 1.1500V

DRAM = 1.670V

 

DRAM standard = 1.500V

VCORE standard = 1.264V

 

I cant remember the other standards atm.

It would be nice if you told us your system specs

Yep a real newbie mistake I've updated the first post
