Most computer made in the last 10 years or so have a temperature sensor which prevents the processor from being damaged by overheating.
In these cases, when the processor overheats the system will restart.
In cases where the processor does not have an overheat protection system the CPU can be damaged. This usually renders the computer completely inoperative, not even able to complete the POST (power on self test) process. In laymans terms, youll turn the machine on, youll hear the fans & disks spin, but nothing will appear on screen.
It is important to note that a fried CPU is not the ONLY issue which could cause those symptoms, and that a mildly cooked CPU can have other effects, your milage may vary.

How would you normally overclock the CPU?
First of all you need a AMD processor, them you need a motherboard to run such processor. Once you have that up and running, use the disk that comes with the motherboard. Run the utility to overclock but be cautious because the processor running faster overheats easily, as well as the rest of components. Make sure you have a good cooling system, with two or more three -wire fans.

The yellow light of death is when a solid yellow LED light shows up on your PS3. It is extremely rare for this to happen, but if it does there are ways to fix it, if you Google it.
