Maybe others can back me up here but from what ive read, your system can warp the motherboard from too much heat over a extended period of time, which can cause certain circuits to lose contact etc.

Have you ever heard of wood warping? Same thing... Are you sure it was installed correctly? I could see a board becoming warped over time if the stand-off's are correct.

If it's new, then I'd say it's just a manufacturing defect. You should be able to return it, right?

well there is another term for cook ware , when a cookie sheet becomes soo hot it tweaks itself like, it twists a little or the opposite sides rise higher than other corners of the sheet
