Today i plugged in my iphone into my computer and the computer shutoff right away. When I looked inside of the computer i had accidentally plugged the usb into the firewire connectors on the mobo. I plugged in a usb drive the other day into both of the ports but nothing happened. Now my computer wont even start back up. When ever i hit the power button nothing will happen. I think that i have this problem ruled down to the motherboard but I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else. I am sure that there is not anything wrong with the power supply because i had a spare 600 watt PS that i tried and nothing happened. Also when i plug everything in on the motherboard for power, the light on my mobo comes on. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what i should do. I already sent in for a rma to asus.
Plugged in phone and computer shut off

you fried the mobo. It said in the manual that came with my mobo that if you plug the usb into the firewire connector than you could fry the mobo. this has not happened to me personally but i have heard others with this problem.
Thank you very much for enforcing what I was suspicious of. I'll have to be much more careful next time when i plug the usb cable into the mobo.
