This results in overheating that can cause the boards to melt, burn, or even catch fire.ASUS is recalling all motherboards with the part number 90MB18E0-MVAAY0 which have serial numbers starting with MA, MB, or MC. Users can verify their part number printed near the 24-pin power connector on the bottom side of the board as well as on the motherboard’s packaging.
