Have you tried switching your power supply off then back on. And/or clearing your cmos?

FYI: Not too wise to post your phone number online.

It also may be the 5V+ of the USB port was connected to a wrong pin on the USB head on the mobo. This would cause damage to the head (if you're very lucky) or the mobo.
