Best Answer

The only true way is to replace the CPU with a working CPU and see if it works. But, if all of your other hardware devices are working then you can bet it is not your motherboard. Another words if you are getting power to your motherboard and all your devices are working, but you are having problems with your CPU then you can bet it's the CPU.
