I stopped buying ASUS about three years ago.  Their motherboards are
generally great, and very reliable (your experience being one of
exceptions).  I spent hours on the phone to them and ultimately gave
up in disgust: they were unwilling to help or issue an RMA despite the
board still being in warranty.  Or perhaps they would have if I'd
spent ten hours on the phone instead of three.  But I decided my time
and money were better spent buying another mobo from a different
company, which I did.  Gigabyte, I think?  It's been fine ever since.

ASUS do indeed (generally) make very good boards,  but when one of
their boards dies their support is some of the worst on the planet.
Save yourself the grief, just buy another board from someone else.
