I've had my E8400 OC'd to 4GHz for about two weeks now without any problems. But now, just out of no where, my CPU always resets itself back to the stock GHz. More specifically, when I go to my BIOS settings, I see that the "CPU Host Clock Control" is set to "Disabled", which makes my "CPU Frequency" go back to the stock 3.0GHz. If I try to OC my CPU again set my "CPU Host Clock Control" to Enabled, after I save the settings and reboot my computer, about 5 seconds after the computer starting up, the computer reboots itself and changes my "CPU Host Clock Control" back to disabled, setting my "CPU Frequency" back to 3.0GHz. (I also had EIST and C1E disabled from the start, so that's not the problem.) I have no idea why this is happening, I did not do anything prior to cause this problem. It just came out of the blue.
Here is an image of what my BIOS layout looks like just for reference.
