Due to the high level of overclock, I assume this is a socket 775 CPU? If so, it's a Prescott (there are no Northwood's for socket 775). That means it was running hot on top of already normally running hot. You may have done damage over time to it that sped up the process of electromigration. Prescott's run hot as it is, and while the CPU might not have gotten hot enough to instantly throttle, it still may not have been good for it over time.

Just a shot in the dark, but either way, it does sound like either the CPU or motherboard is bad. CPU failure is less common than motherboard failure, but given what you were doing, I'd start there it comes to process of elimination. Sinve power is being given, it's almost certainly one of those two parts though (or if you're unlucky, both).
