As far as i know, when overclocking fails, the manifestation is 1) can not boot up 2) can not enter OS by rebooting or stuck 3) bluescreen 4) just turned off while running an application.

what are the other symptoms not described above?

i want to know the possible symptoms so that i can see if overclocking is safe enough or not. also, just my curiosity :)

Thanks!
 
Usually the best way (or you already know this) is to do increment voltage or frequency and then run the system to see if it's stable then increment again. That way it's safer.
 
If you go way too far, your system won't POST. Go a little at a time and test for stability. Patience =)
 
some like to run prime 95 for 4 days or so. I think if you can run it for 8 hours you should be fairly stable. if prime 95 shows errors in that time frame your system will probably suffer from random crashes. that is my experience anyway.
 
I don't see the need to run Prime95 any longer than 8-12 hours either. It will crash before then if there's a problem.
