I ran IntelBurnTest for 6 cycles or whatever and I left the room to go to the bathroom. When I came back, everything was off. When I flip the switch off then on, it runs for literally half a second. Tried breadboarding, tried switching around ram, I don't know what else to do. I also should mention that when I unplug the 8pin power by the CPU, everything runs properly. Except I can't obviously do anything because the CPU has no power.

Specs
MSI 970A Krait Mobo
AMD FX6300
Raidmax Thunder 735w
EVGA GeForce GTX 670
Gskill Aegis 2x4Gb DDR3 RAM
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
 
Solution
Test with another PSU and if it doesn't resolve the issue, then you should RMA the motherboard. Normally the CPU shouldn't fail; it should throttle or shutdown if cooling is not good enough.
