Hello friends and PC enthusiasts! I have had this Motherboard for almost 3 years now. It has run like a charm time and time again. Until.... it didn't.

STORY:
A few days ago I was playing Overwatch like any normal day with this same rig I've had for a couple years now. It was time for work and I shut down the computer (Start>>>>Shutdown) and left for work. Nothing seemed unusual at all, and didn't even think about it.
Next day I go downstairs to the PC to boot it up like I do almost everyday without any issues and WHAM!
ACTUAL PROBLEM: The Chassis, mobo, video card, and fans all light up and run for a split second and it shuts off immediately. No POST, no Boot (duh), no nothing... the only way to try to turn in on again is if:
A. Kill all power to the rig via PSU cable/ switch.
B. Unplug BOTH (tried swapping each cable/mix to no avail) EATX 12V CPU cables.
The PC will RUN without fail if I have BOTH cables unplugged, but no screen, no post, no nothing... just lights and fans forever....
On top of ALL of that this LED next to the CPU and RAM slots lights up and stays ON. (SEE PICTURE)
I looked in the manual for said board and it is NEVER mentioned nor circled... (nice job ASUS) The led is labeled on the board as, "PLED01"
THINGS I'VE TRIED BUT FAILED:
- Clear CMOS with jumpers
-Change Battery
-Breadboard
-NEW PSU
-Different GPU
-1 slot of RAM
It is VERY clear to me that it is either a MOTHERBOARD issue/death or a CPU issue. My best guess is the motherboard died but don't want to give up on her just yet. If I do get a new mobo, and it is the CPU problem, I don't want the new mobo to be fried.... Please help!

EDIT FIXED!!!!!!!!!
It was the motherboard! I got a brand new MSI board, plugged it all in with the EXACT same hardware from the ASUS board above (CPU,PSU etc.) and it turned right on, first power up. No issues whatsoever. Very pleased with MSI right now. Hopefully it lasts! Thanks for all of your help everyone!
