How can i tell if my cpu hard drive is dead

[Guest]

is my cpu dead? I've got a virus on my desktop. I just tried to turn it on and windows xp (start up screen) appeared and the screen went blank. I can't even trouble shoot in the safe mode. Please advise.

Its not the cpu. Do a clean install of windows. Problem solved.
