Checked my ram, it seems okay? I didn't really touch it while swapping things. No broken pins I can see? I'm wondering if I broke my MB? My USB ports don't seem to be powered when I boot. I've had some one suggest it could be my power supply? I'm running a Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550W...

I'm on mobile so this doesn't want to let me answer as a proper reply to you. However I thought about that before upgrading, per the answers I received in the linked thread I thought I was running the right version...
