So I went to bed last night after shutting everything down just fine, there was nothing out of place at all and I had been using it all day. 
I went to tun it on this morning and nothing. Not even an attempt at booting. I tied clearing CMOS, unplugging everything and re plugging, tried the power button on both the front IO and on the mobo. The only signs of life are 2 LEDs that occasionally blink. one is red and it says DB1 under it, right under the BIOS chip. The second is white and is the third LED in the VSM_LED trio.
 
My temps usually stay in the 30's, I built this PC in January and have never had an issue with it until now.

    Have you tried using the PSU testing tool that came with your PSU to rule out any issue's there?  Also try turning off ECO mode if it's on.
     
    Are you plugged into a power stip or UPS that could have an issue?  If so, try plugging the PSU directly to the wall outlet.

    Plug the 24 pin connector back on the motherboard making sure it's firmly seated and try turning it on again.  If nothing has changed, I would contact EVGA's tech support.  I would suspect the board at this point.
