Combover is on a distinguished road

Default USB Power amongst many other problems?

Hello,
I have figured out that this could be a serious problem but just wanted to check the opinion of people who have brains unlike myself for getting me into this mess.

After trying to resolve other problems I have made one stupid mistake.
I have unplugged the power pins for what appears to be the USB2 power jumpers on the Elitegroup K7SOM motherboard. I have no idea what order to put them back in.
The manual says

Pin Signal Name ------------------ Pin Signal Name
1 VERG_FP_USBPWR0 ---------------- 2 VERG_FP_USBPWR0
3 USB_FP_P0- ----------------------- 4 USB_FP_P1-
5 USB_FP_P0+ ----------------------- 6 USB_FP_P1+
7 GROUND --------------------------- 8 GROUND
9 KEY ---------------------------------- 10 USB_FP_OC0


I seem to have wires that say +5 V, Ground and D wires in a variety of different colours.

So my questions are,
Does anyone know which cables go where?
If I don't bother with this and let the wires hang, will this end up in a serious electrical hazzard?


If anyone really fancies helping a newbie some more, maybe you might be able to tell why my machine can't find the graphics card. Hence me trying to rewire the machine.
My first problem came when I had an NFTS.sys error and could only start it up with half the RAM. Would a BIOS re installation do the job?

So any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
