Is my CPU fried?

[jpetter76]

I am having some technical difficulties with my new system. I have an ABIT IC7 motherboard with a P4 2.6C, 1 gb of Corsair VS RAM, and an ATI 9700 Pro. I did some overclocking (only to a 240 fsb) and now my games are causing the computer to freeze. Dungeon Siege, Morrowind and Warcraft 3 all freeze the system. I have, however, been able to run the ATI directX 9 demos with no problems. Do you think that I have fried the CPU, or am I encountering problems with software and/or drivers? Any help would be appreciated.

You didn't say, but have you tried to back off on the overclock to see if all is well.

Yes - I'm running it at 200 FSB

Did you try resetting the Bios to optimised defaults
