What color is the power LED on the roboRIO? If it's red, you most likely have something shorting the 5 volt power bus. Check for debris around the roboRIO's connectors. Use a very bright light to search for something like a tiny strand of wire, or a layer of aluminum dust, that could be a problem. It would be contacting the center pin on any of the DIO, PWM, or Analog ports. It could be anywhere.

If the power LED is green, focus on the code.
