gtx280 underclocking itself...

SOLVED
to about half of what it's set at in MSI after burner.
reinstalled the drivers, that din't work.
installed the newest beta driver, that didn't work either.
tried removing the over clock, all that did was slow down the fan as well.
mind you this is with several restarts also.
so... anyone got any bright ideas?
and don't tell me RMA, used card, no warrenty.
this started when I ran photoshop while folding so my first thought was it's stuck in 2d mode. if that's the case i need to know how to unstick it...permanently. I don't care if it uses more juice when not folding or gaming as long as it performs like it should when I am.

good to hear you solved it
