Endstop crashing out Ramps

Hi,

I have been building my first 3D printer, it is a Prusa i3 running RAMPS electronics.

I have run into a problem where when the endstop is triggered all the LEDs on the RAMPS turn off and the USB connection to my PC drops out. I am at a bit of a loss to work out what is going on here given my lack of knowledge about the RAMPS electronics.

Likely the endstop cable is backwards, causing the endstop to ground out the 5v line when it is hit.
