not without trying it in another mb or another cpu in your motherboard
why not try n borrow another psu?

Do you have a DMM?
Check for +5V on the gray cable on the psu if it is present.
If not the PSU is faulty.
Gray cable, that is the PWR OK or PWR GOOD Signal.
Without this +5V signal the mobo is not going to power up, even though there is power to the +12V | +5V rail, more here about the PWR GOOD signal.
You must check the gray cable for +5V while the PC is powered up or do the paper clip test and check for PWR OK signal.

NO, powering it up for even a second could possibly fry the cpu

Paperclip method.
