Generally speaking, problems are rarely caused by motherboards. However, there are some instances in which a motherboard can fail. For example, an adapter can work its way loose over time due to temperature changes in a gradual process known as

Chip creep

Explanation:

Chip creep can be described as a problem that arises as a chip or integrated circuit works its way out of its sockets as Time goes on. it is also the gradual loosening of the integrated circuit. This problem was quite common during early PCs.

What causes this is changes in temperature. Known as thermal expansion. During thermal expansion, as the system gets heated up and during the process of it cooling down it could occur.
