So a friends mobo died and the pc turns on with fans,but no boot and no beeps.There is no sign of damage on the CPU,but could it also be dead or it might have been affected by the mobo?There's not a good 1150 motherboard available now,so he couldnt test it yet.The CPU is a 4690k if that helps and the mobo Z97 Pro3.The CPU was running on stock speed and it was never overclocked.Does a motherboard usually have some protection for the other components against power surges or nah?

And also,does it happen often for CPUs to die in situations like these?
