Help! Voltage change = no post!

I've been overclocking my E6600 (rest of spec in sig) and after seeing screenshots of other peoples voltages on the 680i chipset I thought that mine were way to high and I could lower them to decrease heat. So far i'd been leaving the voltage in BIOS on AUTO. I lowered it from 1.46 to 1.2 and restarted my PC. Now it won't even post! Just a blank screen, no beep no lit-up keyboard. How do I make things normal again? :confused:

Reset the BIOS - see manual

Voltage was to low for the cpu, clear CMOS should set it back to Default/Auto, as said..
