Overclocking a computer too far out of its specifications can cause any number of problems. The most likely reason for the computer not powering on correctly after overclocking is that the memory bus has been pushed too high and the RAM cannot be written to properly.
You should be able to boot the computer by moving the recovery jumper on the motherboard, so you can access the BIOS and change the settings back. Alternatively, most BIOS these days will automatically revert the overclocked settings if it detects that the system has not booted three or more times consecutively. There may also be a button on the board to do this manually without moving the jumper.
