Well, that's the problem with the reflow method, it's using the same shitty solder as before.  This is the real problem, not usually the CPU or GPU.  The chips get to a temperature where the solder begins to melt, at which point they begin to lift from the board.  So reflow is only a temporary fix.  So far mine has gone a few weeks with no problems.  I've been trying to keep it flat so even if it gets too hot the chips won't shift as much.

Like I said before, the only way to permently fix it is to get a reball kit with lead solder balls.  I think I saw some on Ebay for around $60.  Of course, if you feel you don't have th know-how or experience to do that type of fix, I would suggest either sending it back (which i think costs ~ $150) or just invest in a Slim.
