Is there any way to see if you processor took a ***? Will a motherboard still bring up bios without the processor?

Is there any way of testing the processor. The problem is I'm not getting a post or visual for that matter.

It could also be the MB, PSU or the RAM. You could try an out of the box with minimal components installed.
