    If it is the cause of the malfunction, yes.

    Depends if they find out or not ;)

    Only the gpu can be overclocked on the v1500, which can be done with basic software. :)

    Yep, it will void your warranty if the root of your problems points back to you taking it out of recommended manufacturer settings.

    If you get caught (if you admit you did), then yes.
