Yes, we have had several such cases, which is a big reason why we've moved away from AMD and are no longer going to sell any GPU that has an actual measured power draw of > 290W.
It's probably sufficient to just change the cards if the motherboard works with a replacement card.
Many thanks for your tips. Just one more thing - have you actually identified what component(s) have failed on the motherboard? Not that it matters, but I'm curious.
