Where can I check if my cpu works?

I think my i5-6500 is dead. Where can I check if it works?

What isn't it doing? Does it do anything? Does your system poll?

I just put it on the mobo with ram, power, stock cooler, and a gpu but it won't post. I know the power supply works which is the thing that is usually dead. When I turn in my monitor it won't post. Could it be that my ram is the cause? Thanks in advance

No, not likely RAM. A computer with bad RAM will normally still post (unless you have no RAM). There are usually diagnostic lights on the mobo that will tell you what isn't working (depends a bit) or a mobo speaker that will beep with a code. Check the motherboard manual to see where the lights or whatever are located. Might also help others here if you post a detailed list of components (GPU, mobo make and model etc) to narrow down the issue.
