Two ways to check the CPU:
1) as your problem, if the computer failed at boot or other problem at
begining, then the CPU is easy to point out as bad (compare to more
complex problem I met).
2) if the CPU seems ok, you can run heavy CPU related program for at
least 1/2 hour, to give the CPU max workload as possible, if the CPU
passed this test, it is surely ok. This test can also be used to test
Socket 370 -> Slot 1 card.
