I think it's not that probable, since all cpu's have thermal sensors and they auto shutdown the computer when they overheat, so i think you should test other things that could lead to this same problem, maybe RAMS not attached good enough, if the computer is dusty u could try to blow that away ( its weird but i faced that once, my computer didn't start up just because it had too much dust in it) , swap rams, and these kinds of checks.

I"m building a new machine and didn't initially have the CPU fan
firmly attached to the CPU (one of the mounting prongs wasn't fully
seated). When I power up, the CPU fan spins and the LED on the
motherboard lights up, but the machine doesn't POST. I get NOTHING on
the screen. I get no beeps. I'm wondering if not having the fan
firmly attached would be enough to fry the CPU. I know the CPU worked
at one time (it was a left over part from my previous rebuild). The
motherboard, on the other hand is new - possibly DOA. But, I'm
thinking that would be incredibly rare, so I'm leaning towards the
fried CPU.
What do you think?
I'm not sure how I can test anything to eliminate possibilities.
