    I've been over-clocking my AMD x3 440 slowly raising the bus speed, and everything was going good until I had it at about 240 MHz and x15.0 multiplier, when I hit that windows 7 wouldn't boot, I got the blue screen right before windows boot, so I brought it back down to stock and it still wouldn't boot. Then I did the "load optimum default settings" in my bios, and tried it, same thing, I keep getting blue screened. Can someone shed some light on this? Is the cpu fried now or is it a weird windows 7 glitch.
