CPU's never die, unless you power on with no fan on it, but then it would be confirmed with a puff of smoke.

This thread is useless, it's like asking if a chicken is cooked inside or not.

Unless you have x-ray vision or you cut it open no one knows, especially those whom can't even see it.

What happened for you to think it's cooked, like I said unless you powered on your CPU without a heatsink and fan then it is highly unlikely to be cooked.

So it doesn't work now? It just stopped? Something had to happen... No power surge? Loss of electricity?
