I've done that many times while building, replacing or troubleshooting. You 
can't hurt a CPU by not giving it any power.

What have you done to prove your power supply isn't bad? New ones can be DOA. 
Did you install 100% compatible RAM? Did you try installing only one RAM stick, 
or leaving all unnecessary devices (if there is onboard video, the gfxcard; HD; 
DVD reader; accessory USB ports; speakers; etc.) disconnected? Are you sure the 
CPU is fully compatible with the motherboard's firmware/BIOS/chipset (just 
because it fits the socket is no guarantee it will work)?
