Over-clock keeps resetting on my G1 980

[justRICHTOFEN]

So I kinda have a problem, And its with overclocking my gpu. So I dedicated my entire day yesterday, to find how far I could push my card. However once I thought I had reached its "sweet Spot" and stress tested it for a while, I would double check it by running another stress test. The problem Is that the overclock would normally reset on the second test, even though it had not reset on the long first one. I stayed patient and dialed it down some, and tried again, and this time after stress testing all day, the overclock stuck with no other problems either. Then I went to bed, and after I woke up and tried to play a game, it reset. Am I doing anything wrong? I will say im pretty new to doing this, but Ive read a lot of guides and such, and have good cooling, so why does it do that?

By "reset" it goes back to stock speeds, right?

 

What software are you using to overclock?

Do you have it set to apply the OC on startup?

yes, the oc applies on start up, but if I play a game, and sometimes when stressing it, it resets. However It will normally pass a stress test that ill run for a while.

Huh, strange. Maybe try reinstalling Afterburner, but if that doesn't work (and I don't expect it to), I have no idea.

 

Maybe someone else has an idea

@Enderman ?
