Memory inserted backwards results usually in a blown MOSFET and/or a diode in memory/chipset power circuit.

The Pc should be on when you measure the 5V line.

The purpose of this test is to determine if a part that feeds the 5V line to your usb died somewhere down the line.

Thanks ifrythings for the advice,

I was wondering on what to do if there isn't a 5V line present when measured.
I'm going to get a professional to measure the 5V lines just to be sure i guess.... i just dont want to blow anything up in the process of checking.
I hope it isn't going to be too expensive to repair what smoked the other day.

Thanks.

Now it won't even detect my DVD drive anymore.... wires are all plugged in properly.... jumpers on the drives are set correctly.... I went to turn it on this morning and my Creative DXR2 DVD drive won't be detected.
Now i'm starting to really hate this board.... sometimes it powers but refuses to POST?!
I'm going to look for a new board now.... probably an Asrock P4i65G i guess, since it's cheap and probably reliable....
