Crash after overclock?

Ok I'm pretty distressed about this. I have a water cooled I7-4930k and I thought as it was running at 30 degrees Celsius I could very easily overclock it. So I went into the bios and loaded one of the profiles for water cooled overclocking,t temp was still pretty low like 30-40 which is fine. I also have RAM that's corsair dominator 1866 mhz 2x4gb. I decided to put it at it's correct speed. It was at automatically 1333mhz. But when u tried to start it up it crashed. And I went back and basically did the defaults and it still would not start. it gets to the Windows colorful loading screen (right before you get to the user/lock screen) and crashes. It says it could be a hardware or software problem.

PLEASE HELP. ANYONE WHO DOES GETS A VIRTUAL COOKIE FROM ME. But really THANKS to anyone who tries to help, I would really appreciate it.

Clear CMOS either via either a button or removing the CMOS battery for 30 seconds then retry

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
