For some reason my e6400 decided to die. It will work perfectly fine starting the bios, flashing that little windows loading screen but then right after that loading screen the computer just restarts itself. It is exactly like an overclock hang but heres the kicker, stock settings. This all happened 4 or so days after i overclocked my e6400 to 3.4ghz stable for 7+ hours on torture test never exceeding 57 degrees under load. So what the hell do you guys think happened? Is there anything I can do besides buying a new CPU? So for all I know I am going to buy a new cpu that oc's to 2.5ghz or something like that.

Would completely dissasembling and ressasembling the computer and redownloading windows help?
 
see if it will run memtest86 as it has its own operating system and boot. I am hoping your windows install is hosed instead of the cpu. The fact it will get into the bios points to other issues. Will if go into the bios if you set up a mild overclock with the bios. I mean, go in bios, up the fsb some, reboot back into bios ok ?

BTW if you boot from windows CD and answer like you doing a new install (DONT delete partitions etc, tell it to use existing partiation and windows installation) you will come to a REPAIR option for existing windows install. Give that a shot too.

hitting, what is it ? F8 or F6 tbefore windows starts for safe mode or with boot logging may also provide some clues.
 
Did you kill it with voltage?

As suggested, try memtest86. In addition, you can try a linux live cd like knoppix.
 
if it gets to the windows splash screen, your cpu is fine. there is another problem, either in your windows installation, or possibly with a hard drive or memory. does it go into safe mode? if yes, uninstall any new software/drivers that you may have installed. or press f8 during boot and fall back to "last working config" or go back to a previous restor point.
unplug any hds or opticals you dont need to boot, and only boot using 1 stick ram.
