Your monitor doesn't go on (stays in stand-by mode) because you've overclocked it (the CPU) too much. You say it can go to 4 ghz...I doubt it. Most people who get 4ghz or near that, especially with a 2.6 ghz p4 use water cooling. (and even then I don't know of many people who can keep it stable for too long (like playing a 3D games for a few hours))
I'd say you simply overclocked it enough. I wouldn't suggest screwing with the voltage settings since that automatically brings the CPU burning risk up. You could play around with it, but if you plan on taking your CPU speed from 2.6 to 4ghz, you'll most likely burn it. Also, the memory might not handle that FSB speed.
