My computer indicates the CPU is at fault after a power surge in the house, randomly it will turn on and allow me into the bios to reconfigure its settings but after I do and reload to save the settings it goes into an endless power cycle. When I force reset it just shows the Red CPU debug and yet to boot again.

I’ve also checked voltages in the bios when I could and they seemed okay, and I’m at a loss of what to do now
 
Unless you have some hardware on hand to check individual parts in and a bit of knowledge about swapping said it is probably best to consider local troubleshooting/repair. I tend to recommend looking for mom and pop shops that have been in business a while with good reviews before using such as Geek Squad. Mostly due to pricing and some due to corporate silliness with the larger firms.
 
Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

But based on symptoms, power surge killed something. PSU would be 1st one i'd replace, since proper PSU will not let the damage through, to damage rest of the components.
But as it stands, CPU or MoBo (or both of them) could be faulty.

Moving forwards, best to get proper UPS to protect your PC against surges, brownouts and blackouts. And by proper, i mean true/pure sine wave, line-interactive UPS.
I can talk more about UPSes, but 1st answer what i initially asked.
