it will do nothing to your data, but that does bring to mind one thing, you need to go into the bios by hitting f2 or delete on boot (depending on the motherboard) and copy down the settings so you can reset them after you reset the board.
When you reboot you will have to f2 or hit delete again to get back into the bios to reset the values.(in my case I didn't have to.)
The solution for the two kyak boards that we have been working with, is do not uplug the power supply from the wall. Removing the power plug from the wall, forces me to reset the bios. So we leave them on--its not that acceptable, but its doesn't burn power in the off position.
This little bit of witchcraft seems to work give it a try under a full mood
