Not enough here to work with, but sounds like it's a prebuilt PC or built on a cheap mobo - most prebuilts have locked BIOSs and OCing is out of the question, cheap mobos seldom OC very well, unfortunately this mobo wasn't really made with OCing in mind, it's a bare basic mobo
 
Checked the specs, in the review section of the Egg a Asus rep says:

"Unfortunately this board is an entry level board that if you were looking for something that you can overclock, has USB 3.0, and uses a CPU with higher wattage you can look into the M5A97".

might be the 8350 is a 125 WATT CPU
