Follow Blazetrends, the report said the problem was causing the system to become unbootable due to an error related to working memory (code Q53), in some severe cases this motherboard caught fire.

The reverse MOSFET position can be the cause of the problem |
Multiple snapshots show fire damage manifesting between the RAM pin lock and the LED display. Usually one or two burnt chips can be seen, and as noted by Buildzoid, these are the MOSFETs that are directly responsible for powering the memory modules. Based on this image, experts suggest that it is more likely that the burned-out MOSFETs are responsible for distributing 5 volts of voltage between different connected devices.
According to the report, it seems that the problems stemmed from the capacitor being placed in the wrong place. This is shown when comparing the boards that are working normally with the ones that have problems, and the faulty capacitors have been reversed. In addition, the sign on the component shows that the polarity is on the other side, which is of course detrimental to the operation of the motherboard.

Another case that causes problems is Asus releasing many fixes for motherboards, but this is unlikely because these are recently released Asus motherboards. If not, it’s possible that the problem stems from a manufacturing defect. Such components are usually connected by a machine, but personnel may have misplaced capacitors.
So far Asus has not commented on the above incident.
