I felt like increasing the OC i've done i had it running with 15% OC and i wanted to stretch it to 30% to compare =\. I've done the worst thing. Anyways Immidiatly after saving and rebooting the computer would not turn on the fans turned on and the lights but no response from the monitor, keyboard or mouse. THere was also no system "beep". I tried resetting the CMOS but removing the battery for some time and jumping it changing the jumper to pins 2-3. No luck. Solutions? What did i damage? I doubt it was heat that caused this since it had no time to heat up.

To Bladecrimson, I have done as instructed but i'm afraid that it has produced no change. One other thing i press power and it starts for one second and it shuts off then restarts. It's done this since the OC'ing

Well i played around with things.. i'm not sure what i changed but it doesnt start up then restart after 2 seconds. It powers on normal. Still no beep. I plan to change the PSU when i get home i doubt that will help.
-Another thing the CPU fan works, does that mean that the MOBO is getting power-therefore not fried?

You need to pull all the components, Drives, Cards, RAM, CMOS Battery, And the CPU.
Then insert the CPU and power up the computer 4 about 30 seconds. It wont boot, but it will allow the eproms to default.
Then if your display is not integrated add the GPU and CMOS battery and try to boot to the BIOS.
If you cant, then you've damaged something and need to do Fault Isolation testing to find whats been cooked!
If you get the BIOS up choose the defaults and reboot, adding a component and rebooting untill everything is back working...
Advice: Dont mess with what you dont understand!

Looks like you have done some serious damage to your motherboard. Try resetting the BIOS again, the same way you have tried it. If this doesn't work, I guess you need to take it to the dealer to get it repaired. Since OCing voids the warranty, there are no chances of replacement. If you are thinking that heat could not have damaged your CPU, you are wrong. The CPU can be damaged in a mere 2 seconds if its overclocked way too high and even if the heatsink is not placed. So, think again next time you do something ;)

Try checking the heatsink fan connector, especially the speed sensor wire, might have loosened. Also observe the fan speed. If the motherboard senses no fan speed or very low speed, it will automatically shutoff even before loading BIOS.
This actually happened to me and almost made me crazy. Good, I did not throw my PC into the window!
Another possibility is PSU problem. If after turning on, the motherboard does not receive the "Power Good" signal, it will auto shutdown before loading BIOS.
If you did some overvolting (of processor, chipset, RAM), there's some likelihood of damage.

Wow, you must be very impatient.
Overclocking should be done in very small steps, not like 15%.
If you cannot make the computer start by resetting the CMOS, then I would think that you killed your CPU, motherboard and or RAM.
How did you overclock?
FSB?
Voltage?
Memory timings?

how did you overclocked the CPU too high and why..when your system was running well ..with which software? its not a good idea to change the default settings of CPU's characteristics when you don know what you are doing and why and what will be its consequesce thereafter ,it will be difficult for us to guess your problem without debugging your systems hardware and everything else, please get your system checked by a n expert pc technician (you can go to the shop with your all receipt and cpu unit) and tell them all the story ,they may help you guess what had actually happened to your CPU
Good luck,

Go into your bios.....F2 or delete or something when your computer boots up....then go to the advanced, or processor tab. Change motherboard speed, which should be set at 133 MHz to something between 120-130. This will slow down the motherboard speed in general, but you will no longer crash or randomly reboot.
Try this. it may help

Try zapping the ram.
