Also agree that it may be something else besides the actualt CPU, and the PSU is easy and cheap to swap out and try.
I did know a guy who got the same message and actually did fry his CPU, but he was also overclocking and did not have adequate cooling, and when he replaced the processor with a new out-of-the-box unit, it sis not work, and he figures he may have damages some of the connectors on the cpu socket with the heat, basically making his mainboard a piece of art.
Just thought I'd throw this into the mix...
Peace,
Pierre
