Is my cpu dead?

Just bought an amd phenom ii x6 cpu and it arrived today. I went to install it and everything seemed fine. i went to turn on my pc however and nothing would happen. no monitor signal, no lights in the front of my pc, the only thing that was working were the fans and motherboard lights. i know i have everyting set up right and i have my bios to its latest version which states that this cpu works with the motherboard. do i have a dead cpu on my hands?

Its smells like GPU, make sure all power cables are plugged in.

Yep,Try reseating the GFX card....Also how much thermal paste did you place on the CPU?

It is not the graphics card. Everyhting just simply will not work. The little light in the front that signals its working wont light up. the hard drives make no sounds, it just simply will not boot

Take everything out of the case and try it, your mobo could be shorted by your case.

Put the old processor in and see if that works.
