Z97M OC Formula won't boot when gpu is in

   Last night while streaming Plex on my TV from my computer, streaming was slow and unresponsive. When I rebooted the computer, it hung up on the Windows 10 screen circling. I power cycled and eventually the machine wouldn't even POST. I moved the jumper and removed the battery to reset everything. Still the machine wouldn't boot. I eventually started taking each item out piece by piece. The last item was the GPU, and wouldn't you know, after I removed it, the machine booted up.
So I amazon primed a new one. I put it in, same result. I moved between PCIe Slots and got the same result. I went into BIOS to change the "gen" of the PCIe slots to 3, but same result.

Has my motherboard finally died? Is there anything else I should try?
