i got a GTS and accidentally overclock my BX/ZX board/cpu from 100 Mhz to 133 Mhz, I never noticed that I switch the FSB on the BIOS cause Im fixing my HDD so when I tried restarting my pc nothing happens just black screen, after a few minutes i remembered that I switched my FSB to 133 Mhz, so I put it back to 100 Mhz and everything goes BACK TO NORMAL (but no HDD yet), now the question is will there be any damage to the VIDEO CARD i.e. transistors, integrated chips etc. if I suddenly boost up the FSB?

If you keep it that way and it runs yes, in your case it sound like no.
I had a geforce running at 1/1(didn't know this then) to fsb and fsb was suppose to be 66mhz well i bumped the fsb to 100mhz and well thats what the video card was running too, the card ran fine until I got green lines on my monitor. The lines wouldn't go away no matter what even after I lowered the divisor.
