Hi guys, long time follower first time poster. I recently saved enough to get myself a corsair cooler and a new case. After plugging everything in, checking my spacers, my cable connections, and my seatings twice, I turned my rig on to watch a solder point light up like a Christmas tree. It really breaks my heart, because I know it has to be my fault; this rig was streaming to a steam link with no hitches in my old case.
Here's a link to the "before I turned it on" shot I was taking as I built:

Here's the solder point that blew, just shy of an empty RAM slot:

Here's the back of that area, no contacts for sure:

Does anyone know what I did wrong? I feel awful; this sounds corny and childish, but this mobo was a gift from a dear friend a few years ago, and I'm really messed up about this. The parts:

I don't mind replacing the board, I just feel like I need to know what I did wrong. Any suggestions or opinions for my investigation would be much appreciated.
Addition: All parts were running at stock settings.
Answer: I plugged my USB into a 1394 header by mistake. Is there any way I can disable it and still use it or should I unplug and resolder?
