recently built my gaming pc and after I shut it down, a couple of hours later I try to turn it on but it starts restarting in a loop. it turns on but then turns off and then on again. I never see anything on the monitor. Im really scared that I may cause damage because the way I have "fixed it is by turning it offf and then reseting the psu. what can I do?

I have two ram sticks 2x4Gb, I oc'd them to 3200 mhz but that's the amount advertised. Not sure if that is why. I'll set them back to default and try again.

Oh, I didn't know you were over clocking. But yes, start off by defaulting everything if you can.
