If it doesn't work, it's probably broken.

(or if it is broken in half)

Suppose I don't have extra parts, what then?

Normally your mobo will beep and not post. Count the beeps then refer to the manual to find the problem. There may also be an error code on the mobo.

cpu rarely dies, when it does, it's no screen. But to confirm on that its either grab another same cpu or test the broken on another board. Had a system once where the cpu will bsod when logging into the desktop on 64bit, but it works fine with 32 bit.
