Yes, I am using Win7, Win8 was just to test.
I guess i should have made that more clear.
When i was was checking the board for physical damage(bent pins in the red connector or bad/damaged caps around it), just in case, I noticed that the section by ASmedia controller was very "dull" looking compared to the rest of the board.

ImageShack.usSMD parts do not leak do they? Almost sure they do not and this is just excessive flux, Something I have never really seen on Asus products(the rest of the board looks quite clean). Was my board made on Friday? Any of the fluxes I personally use do conduct to some extent and USB3 seems to be very sensitive. Those look to be directly a part of the USB3 setup.
This looks like a good place to start.
