What could have possibly been overheating? It only ever happened on idle system at about 35С. Is there something wrong with onboard sensors?

I've seen other people having similar symptoms (~4 hours stable, than crashes with increasing frequency, resets overnight). Is this some hardware malfunction? Should I get a new motherboard?

upd: Will now try adding some regular fans. Don't like getting cold.

I still have random freezes with 2400G on new BIOS 4.90.

More over, when freezes issue occurred,  I can't reboot or turn on the system normally.
I need to turn off PSU and wait about 3-5 minutes to turn on the system again.

Hope if any one can give some workaround solution here :(

Are you able to leave the case open and point a room fan at the motherboard? Someone above found that having an air conditioner blowing on the PC fixed the problem.  He/she was going to try a regular fan. If a large fan fixes the problem, I'd say there are defective components.

No, adding more regular fans didn't help. I tried different positioning: vrm, soc, southbridge. Nothing worked. Four hours uptime and the crashes begin. Not cold enough? I'm certainty not using air conditioner again! It's freezing!

Setting PCI Express / Link State Power Management / Setting: Off looked very promising. Unfortunately it didn't work either. Nor did it's Linux equivalent pcie_aspm.policy=performance or pcie_aspm=off kernel parameters. Tried it with different PSU Idle Control BIOS settings too.

Linux is more verbose in it's error reporting. I sometimes got:
	pcie bus error severity=corrected type=physical layer
This is PCIe protocol failure which could imply that something PCIe-related is malfunctioning. Ethernet, audio or USB controller? 

I believe something must have degraded over the first two weeks (just as my free return period ended!). Thermal pads maybe? Or some kind if thermal paste? Or something melted?

Anyway. I waited for BIOS 4.9, I tried various things, but it's been over three months already. I give up.
I replaced this board with Gigabyte B350 and it's working very well. Current uptime is 40 hours.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I had a Gigabyte board for 9 years and it was still working as advertized when replaced by this board, just getting a little overwhelmed by modern O.S.s and software.  We also have an Asrock FM2 board which has been in service for several years with no issues which is why I bought this board.  I was looking at other B350 boards and found a Gigabyte model on NewEgg that was having boot and freezing issues though they didn't seem so plentiful as the AB350M PRO4. I wonder if there's something in the B350 chipset or the manufacturing processes that are marginal --  most work but too many don't. It'll be interesting to see how the B450 boards entering the market fare.  

There is a post somewhere above which mentions suspicion about the PCIe and/or USB buses.  I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.
