However a few weeks ago my mother plugged out the power connector of my fathers computer to connect heir cleaning machine and the Windows boot sequence got corrupted so the machine was not able to start Windows after that issue, such things might happen

Anyway the harddisk itself is obviously ok, I just had to copy back the data from the last backup and everything is fine again...
just take care that you have another system you can boot from CD/DVD or USB stick in order to restore backups.
Awesome, so I don't have to be afraid that will happen ;p
Yeah I'll just make a back-up of everything just in case.

Okay, so the graphic card is okay? Hmm, will my HDD be erased totally? In the worst case? Or just what I worked in when starting the computer in that fase.
Generally there isn't anything wrong with overclocking if you aren't trying to blatantly drive your PC over the edge, most motherboards have smart technology now and some Intel processors also will automatically quit when they've reached their limit. Hardware will deteriorate over time whether or not you choose to overclock, so there's nothing to really lose when you just need that extra juice sometimes.

Well overclocking reduces the life time quite a bit, but usually that doesn't matter because you should've bought new stuff anyway after 10 years. :-P

Don't increase the voltage, just test how far you can go, and you'll be perfectly fine with a nice speed boost for free.

But still this means my computer will get defect a lot more faster, and I will get the fault anyways. It's just that I'm the only person in house that games and usually people who really have no idea how a computer works think that games are really bad for a computer and that that's the main reason things go wrong. I will get blamed anyway, but then I know it's no my fault. If I overclock it, they'll practically be right for blaming me I'll do that to my own computer, not one everybody uses ;p

10 years? That's a lot of time, I've never had a computer for longer then 4 years ;p
