Msi b450 Mortar Refuses to Overclock

I made a sort of post on it before but I am desperate since I cannot find anything else like this.

Here is what happens:
If any overclocking settings are changed such as memory speed or cpu voltage/speed my computer either sometimes does a smooth reset into a black screen with the EZ debug led on CPU (Simply draining the power fixes that problem) or it will do a weird reset where it will just pop off with the power supply clearly stopped suddenly (I know the power supply is not the problem as I have tested the system with different power supplies. I have an RM750) and i'll have to wait after it does it five times until it posts. None of the settings are saved after those two events and I have tried of overclocking apps but it just goes into the bios. Nothing works and games are running badly since my memory is stuck at 1067mhz (cl18 3200mhz 4x4gb dominator platinums) as well as the processor is running below the advertised speed.

Sorry I forgot to mention that. Yes I updated the bios twice to the latest release.

I am using extensions on my power supply. Would that maybe effect the power to the motherboard?
