Have you checked the power supply voltages? If the supply has failed with an overvoltage, that could cook the mobo. And other periferals. This happened to one of my systems...
I checked the 4-pin aux connector that is connected to the MB and it seems within spec. The power supply lines aren't easy to access but I can test them. I wouldn't expect a failure of the power supply as I haven't had it long and it is one that has a wattage rating about twice that of the original. Power supply failures I've had in the past have usually been ones where the fan bearings wore out.
I have swapped the CPU for one that was supposed to be a good one and no change. I have built myself a simple ESR meter. After I pull the MB out of the case I will be able to check the caps ane see if one of them failed.
