Clear your CMOS by using instructions in your motherboard manual or by removing motherboard battery for 2-3 mins then putting it back in. This is reset all settings and you will need to do the overclock again (if you want to). What are the rest of the specs of your system? - Not any system can support overclocking and you may have damaged something.

What PSU is it.

Maybe your CPU just can't be overclock that much. Leave it at stock because if you push it, you are going to damage it. Also, I think your CPU isn't unlocked so it will make overclocking much more difficult. What cooling do you have?

Are you sure you know what you are doing? You should be monitoring temps and running stress tests such as Prime 95 after every small increment (eg 0.2 Ghz).
