I have an Asrock x58 Extreme motherboard OCZ 1600 DDR3 Ram and i7920 processor. I installed Windows Vista 64 and all the drivers and such. I boot to Bios and go to the EZ OC option to overclock my CPU to 3.6 ghz. I exit and save, computer shuts down immediately. I panic but it turns back on after a 2-3 second delay. My monitor then has no picture and when I reset, it shuts off then turns back on in 2-3 seconds. I did a CMOS reset so the computer turns on normally when reset but there is still no picture although the computer posts. What does this mean?

Clear the bios for 30 minutes.
Remove the power, short the pins and remove the battery.
