So I've been running xtrSENSE4.2 since it came out and previous versions of xtrSENSE previous to that. I've been rooted for 3 months or so and consistently overclocked at 768 using SetCPU. Yesterday I take my phone out of my pocket and I can't get it to wake up... no amount of button pressing will make the black screen go away so I pulled the battery, put it back and it booted up just fine. Later that evening I start using the web browser and all of a sudden the screen goes black and it resets completely but stays on the white screen with the skateboarding androids for a troublingly long time before the boot animation finally starts. Then, once it's finally loaded I go to spare parts to see if my battery condition is still "good" and see if there's anything going on and it reboots again... these two reboots happened within 5 minutes of one another. On this second reboot the three skating androids remain for (what seems like) an even longer period of time before the boot animation finally starts again. At this point, once its fully booted up again, I go to SetCPU and move the slide bar from 768 to 748 (my minimum is 528 currently, it seems that I experience too much "wake up" lag when the minimum is set too low) and I haven't had any issues since.
What I'm worried about is that since I've run my CPU at 768 for so long, have I damaged my processor and is that why I was experiencing these random resets? Or was it just an isolated incident... or is there even a way to see if my CPU is wearing out without simply waiting for it to crap out entirely? Any help would be much appreciated.
