Has my Motherboard blown up?

Well, a hour or two ago my PC turned it's self off.
Upon turning it on again the fans started, but there was not beep from
the MB and no output to the moniter.
The GPU has it's 'VDDC_FAULT' / insufficant voltage light on, but a quick
test of the PSU shows that all voltage rails are producing correct
voltages.

A CMOS wipe, RAM removal, GPU and HDD removal and even CPU removal
produce no beeps from the MB.

Am I right in thinking my MB has blown?
What could have caused this?
