if I'm reading the User's Manual correctly (page 34 Overview of Components : https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-BAZOOKA#down-manual)
That is the GPU LED that "indicates the CPU's iGPU is not detected and you need to install a graphic card."

Since you have a Ryzen, it's lit because there is no "iGPU". But my guess is that it's not seeing your GTX1060, either. So either the video card is bad (take it out and test in in someone else's machine), or, if the video card tests good, you've probably got a bad motherboard.

This assumes you have the video card properly seated in the correct slot on the motherboard, and any additionally required power cables are connected.

I could have swore I looked in that section.. I can't believe you found that. I think you're right! The PC worked for about a week and now the 1060 no longer outputs video. Also tested the motherboard with a different card and it worked. I'm pretty sure the video card is bad and I'm getting it RMA'd.
