During an intent to overclock my GPU it crashed 2 times sending it into the VPU Recover screen by ATI. It's the rig in my Profile, and it happened after exceeding 460.0MHz in the core.

Could this damage my GPU or something? I fried one recently...and trust me, I do not want to fry this one.

It seems this card is not "made" to go past the 460 MHz Core, as It fails every single time I try. Thanks for your help!

I guess so, but after exceeding 460MHz Core and 220MHz Memory, the monitor blacks out or the GPU, and I need to restart my PC in order for it to load again...

It comed factory clocked to 400/200. Any ideas what to do?

Yes, that is what happens. I used Omega's with ATI TT and then AtiTool. Same thing. I'm not too worried because I'm going to format soon, but I find it odd it just "blacks out" and the monitor/GPU dies instead of getting artifacts or something. Mine isnt Sapphire, it's not ATI either. I forgot the brand...

It came 400MHz/200MHZ factory clocked.

Nah, im sure it isnt. I load at 58C my GPU and my Processor runs at 100% load at 55C, so you can be sure it isnt temperature. Else I'd have noticed. I guess it's the single this fact this card is alredy clocked to 400/200MHz and it can only be raised so much. 460/220 is good I think, taking into account this coma clocked.

This is from the best OC known thread:

Seems we got out max
