OC keeps reverting itself?

So I had my i5 4690k OC'd to 4.2 and when I looked this morning, its back down to stock. Did I do something wrong? 

I'm using the intel OC tool as a heads up.

Don't use intel oc tool. Do it manually. Tools suck.

Ok, and how do you suggest doing that when doing it through the bios crashes when just adjusting the voltage?

Do you need to change the voltage for 4.2ghz? That doesn't sound right. Also bios crashing doesn't sound right.

Don't ask me. It's my first OC aside from the tool. I hit the apply button and the computer locks up. Then shuts itself off.

Go back in, it's reverted.

And I had to bump it up by like .05 on intel's tool.

Have you tried not changing the voltage and just getting the clock up?

._.

It'd have to be the MOBO because I can OC normally through the intel tool.

Have you tried updating the BIOS?  

 

Also with the intel XTU tool, if you ever restart your PC the OC will revert back to BIOS settings.

Good to know.

And the last time I tried to update the bios on a computer it fubar'd the computer...

It's ridiculously easy now.

 

 

You just go to your motherboard's webpage on Gigabyte's website, find the "Support and downloads" part, find the BIOS download for the newest non beta BIOS.

Then download it, put it on an empty USB drive, plug in the USB drive and go into your BIOS and find " Q-FLASH" 

All you do then is just click that, find your file on the USB drive and click it then follow the prompts and the motherboard will do everything else for you and tell you when it's done.

Yeah. Last time I did those exact steps it fubar'd the mobo.
