GTX 970 Core Clock De-Clocked?

[Hcollett]

Hello everyone! I have a big issue with my GTX 970, i was overclocking it trying to find the sweet spot and experienced a driver crash. Since the crash my core clock and memory clock are severely reduced Core:533 Mem: 3005. They will not budge no matter what I do, I wasn't playing with the voltage or anything when I was overclocking so I'm hoping I didn't fry the damn thing. I went into the Nvidia control panel and reset all of my settings to my preferences and selected maximum performance to no avail. Also tryed full reboot to no avail. Suggestions?

I fixed it guys, thank you so much. If you use MSI Afterburner make sure you have "Overclock on startup" unchecked if you have a driver failure or it will do what I described above.
