GPU Crashes at Startup Because of OC

I've OverClocked my GPU (r9 290), and everything is smooth, as long as I remember to switch off the Overclock before Shutting Down or Hibernating.
If I forget to do so, the PC crashes as soon as it gets to the sign in screen.

I have a 600W PSU, and My overclocking settings are:
+100 Core Voltage
+100 Aux Voltage
+50% Power Limit
Core Clock: 13.8% (1078)
Memory Clock: 1413 (From 1250)
And of course, a custom fan speed (never gets hotter than 82 degrees)

It almost never crashes when I'm already in my account, what leads me to believe that the problem is that afterburner doesn't start before I Log In, which causes the crash.

Is there a way to force the GPU to startup without the OC?


Thanks.
