Tried my first overclock last night and i think i broke my cpu. I sat the voltage wrong and the computer wouldent boot so i reseted the cmos and pulled out the little battery. Then it booted, i went in to the bios and changed everuthing to default. Then when i tried restarting it crashed. When i tried again smoke started coming from the cpu. Tried one more time after that and same problem settings default and when i try to boot it crashes. Btw i have a 750a mobo.

well smoke from the cpu is definitely a bad sign

agreed; hopefully it's just the CPU and not the motherboard as well, but it could be a possibility
got a spare sitting around to throw in and give it a try?

If You saw smoke from the CPU it's broken, there's no chance Your CPU can survive this.

well the only thing u can really do is to find someone with the AM2 or AM2+ system to test out the cpu again,

actually.... but if cpu OR the mobo is doing that, wouldn't it be dangerous to test another CPU or Mobo with it??

I doubt the actual CPU burned, but maybe (more than likely) the motherboard blew.
