Did you pop the CMOS battery and leave it out for 5 minutes?

If you did, well, this is why I don't OC anymore. =p

Ya, they say you only need to wait about 30 seconds with the battery out but that's a load of bull lol.

How did you reset the BIOS? with the jumpers?

Is anything happening?

Are you getting the post screen (text stuff before windows loads)?

Is it beeping?

It might be you have blown the Power Supply if it wasn't up to the Overclock.

I really doubt it. If the PSU wasn't up to the OC (and I'm doubting he increased the voltage, and probably isn't pulling much more wattage), then it probably would just not feed the system. Or if It's a good PSU, it would turn itself off to prevent damage.

I'm going to guess that something blew. CPU or FSB, maybe.

But yeah, you should upgrade from that 754 rig. I just upgraded from mine and it is nice. =D

I did blow my PSU with an OC last week so however much you doubt it I know it happens and that it has exactly these symptoms. PSU still fired but machine would not boot. New PSU - now all good.

You might have just burnt out your cpu. but yeah, an upgrade sounds good! haha

Take a photograph of what appears on the screen and put it up here please.

Edit: I still think you have blown your PSU. This is just like the symptoms mine had.
