Exclamation GFX Card OC restore?

Hi, I last night I OC'd my GFX card by 50mhz... whilst it was all stable last night i turned it on this morning and it brings up lines about 3minutes into booting into windows.
At this moment im running on onboard graphics...
If I plug this GFX card back in does it restore its original MHz?
Please answer, this is urgent.
Thanks.

Edit- More detail. I used nTune and there is NO setting in the BIOS for the GPU, only CPU.
Also, I am running back on the GFX card but without the external power... and i can't set the nTune settings below stock.... The GFX sits on stock.. but as soon as i stick external power back in it sits back up at above normal clock settings.

The graphic card settings, such as overclocking does not stay fix, unless you flash it. Like you use nTune, to adjust it. It will reset once you reboot the PC. If it does not, you can download the graphic card original BIOS and flash it on boot.

Thanks, How would I go about flashing the GPU bios?
And finding a BIOS Rom.

edit-
Would I have possibly damaged my GPU?
I upped it from 350MHz to 400MHz.(15%)
And upped the GFX Memory from 333MHz to 400MHz.(20%)
After doing this I clicked 'test' and it passed. So I assumed it was fine and could cope. Heating wasn't an issue either.
I tried turning on the pc with the external power in and my mother blow dryer on cold (lol) and it kept the heatsink cold enough to not over heat... Yet still it screwed up.

Yet, now running without External power and the settings are back to stock (but as soon as i stick external it effs up) it runs fine and has been for about half an hour. :|

What brand and model is the video card? If you restore the original BIOS and it still have issues. Most likely the capacitor has blown or a transistor met its faith and died.
