I tried to overclock my cpu, it failed.

Now everytime I reboot the PC everything starts for a couple a seconds and then it shuts off, doing this continually on a loop. The only way to start it is by brutally unpluging power for some time and then putting it back on.

I have an Asus Z97-e mobo and an I5 4690k. When it starts, pressing F2 or DEL does nothing and then at the "Overclocking failed" screen the "F1 to acess SETUP" does not work also, it sends me right away to Windows!

Please help! Thanks a lot!
 
Solution
Unplug the PC from the wall socket, remove the motherboard BIOS battery, and then hold down the case power button for 5 seconds. Put the motherboard battery back, plug the PC back in to the wall socket, and restart.
