you can solder a wire onto the green part, and then just run the other end to a known ground.

well aren't those, just test pads ?
Are they connected to the ground plane ? The picture is rather blurry.
If so you probably just need to connect the via to the ground.

Try scanning the board, you'll get a far better picture.

It means the part of circuit that went off wasn't needed, your problem must come from something else.

Check your power supply, it should give 5V, 12V and 3,3V
If it's ok, something is probably destroyed.
