RE: cMP - Gigabyte mainboard problem

Hello, having found out about cMP only a few months ago, I was quite interested and finally built a running system.

My last attempt included the recommended Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L with ESI Juli etc.

The sytem was ready and running, and sounding amazingly good, all the recommended tweakings were applied, including Minlogon, then I tried to lower the cpu voltage in the BIOS from 0.85V (running fine) to 0.80V.
When - in the "MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)" menu of the BIOS I had changed the value to 0.80V the confirmation prompt (n/y) appeared, but the keyboard did not seem to react or transmit the keystroke "Y". I also noticed some flickering on the screen. So I just made a reboot without trying to confirm the new setting, but after reboot my screen remained black. No entering Setup was possible. Keyboard LED also remains black etc.

Question:
- Can the attempt to lower cpu voltage below the least stable value (for Windows) damage the Motherboard?
- How can I make the sytem boot into the BIOS, or reset the BIOS to default values?

- or simply what can I do from now on?

I am really frustrated because everything seemed to work so fine, and the sound was far beyond what I knew from computer sound....

Thanks for any useful advice....

Bernhard
