Is my motherboard fried?

When i went to sleep my new home build (& my first) was ticking along just fine, when I woke up there was no display output, upon closer inspection I realised that the two fans either side of the radiator weren't running so I tried to shut down by holding the power button down, that didn't work so I had to flick the switch on the back of the PSU.

After having a look & not seeing any issues I decided to try to boot, it didn't post & those fans still didn't run. The front intake fan does run but it's attached to a case fan controller & gets its power directly from the PSU.
The LED's on the motherboard do light up as soon as the PSU is switched on.

I then tried removing RAM, GPU, SATA connectors & the reset button connector, still nothing.

I was concerned that if the cooler fans hadn't been running for a while the CPU might have overheated but I removed it & it doesn't smell or anything.

I've tried resetting the motherboard via jumpers, removing the battery & still nothing.

The motherboard is definitely receiving power from the PSU & is kicking power out to the USB ports but doesn't seem to be powering the cooler.

I'm at a loss, is the motherboard knackered?

CPU - AMD FX 9590
Motherboard ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura
RAM - HyperX Savage 8GB
CPU cooler - Corsair H80i V2
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB
PSU - EVGA 600W 100-W1-0600-K3
SSD - Sandisk Z410 480GB 2.5"
HDDs - Samsung 500GB HD5101LJ & Hitachi 1TB H3D10003275S (both from old PC's)
OS - Windows 10 Home x64 (unactivated)
Case - CIT Spectre
Also connected were - wireless keyboard & mouse, speakers, external 2.5" 500GB HDD, Sony DS4 joypad, Asus monitor (via DVI) & LG TV (via HDMI)

 
Solution
Motherbd is probably toast since it doesn't support the fx9590 cpu and the power draw it needs.

Thanks very much for your reply, I wasn't even aware that was an issue.

I have managed to get it running again but I've been experiencing system freezes which I'd imagine could be due to that issue.

I used http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ to check everything was compatible & the mobo lists the FX series as being compatible but you're right, the mobo says it supports CPU's up to 125w but the FX 9590 is rated at 220w.

Is the only solution to upgrade the motherboard then?
