Is my cpu dead?

Specs: i7 6700k @4.6GHZ

Msi gaming m7 z170a mobo

980 ti msi

980 ti EVGA (only running sli in the last 2 weeks) 

16gb lpx corsair ram

1000w gold aero cool psu (got it cheap on amazon years ago and never thought to replace as it actually worked) 

 

So, I upgraded my rig to sli a week ago and everything seemed fine, I was running games that used sli perfectly, obviously had the sli hiccups that anybody would get when doing something like this (build my rig 5 years ago with the intention of sli and decided to do it just before bug navi came out just to see what it's like before sli truly dies). 

Found out you can import profiles to games via nvidia inspector and decided to tinker with it on monster hunter world, everything seemed fine then went back to playing some other games, pc couldn't be running any better. 

All of a sudden my pc turns off and reboots, I assume too much power draw and my psu was dying, happens again and again over and over, so I unplug my second gpu, this time I can get to the desktop for about 15 to 30 seconds at a time, pc keeps rebooting by itself, telling me it need repairs, so I let it do its thing, reset the pc but keep my files then it just stops posting after that, compleatly dies, only the fans spin up, I think, maybe the psu and just totally died and can only barely get enough power to turn things on. 

Try another psu, with one gpu now, corsair gs800, still nothing, now I think my cpu is dead somehow (msi baord apparently has serge protection) so I put my cpu in another mobo, still no post, I've tried ddr4 and ddr3 ram with this cpu, nothing, put it back in original board, try 1 stick of ram in each slot, nothing, clear cmos, nothing, keep getting error code 62 or error code D4 or 04 or it gets stuck in a loop with the numbers going too fast, think my bios is broken and needs an update or flashback so I get bios and do everything msi video says as my board has a flashback button, red-light blinks 3 times and then does nothing, I've taken all the components apart from the new psu out and tried to flash and still, blinks 3 times and then doesn't flash bios, it is definitely in the right USB port, I've read the manual about 100 times now, I followed everything to a T and still nothing. 

I don't really know what else to do now, if anybody could help me I'd be so happy, can really afford to buy a new cpu. Thank you.

since the CPUs not working in multiple boards (assuming they're compatible and have proper BIOS to support) then yes, it sounds like a dead CPU to me.
