Electronic devices can and will fail in spite of being tested at the factory. If the processor or motherboard are faulty out of the box, you RMA them which is why you're given warranty on a product.

Just like manufacturing of most electronic and other complicated products. Some more than other but all elements are tested on their own before installation although very few are made at MB manufacturer but are from third party and MB manufacturer have to rely on that. Completed products are tested for basic operation and samples tested more thoroughly.
All processors are tested deeply, but only for proper operation but also for grading them (binning) so it's a full test. Depending on process, ones that have at least one core that test lower than lowest bin or not working have some cores disabled and sold as lesser processor.
