Default Damage from not cooling correctly

I have (had) a PIII that came without a cooling unit to attach it to. I wanted to see if the chip worked so I connected it to the m/b and ran a household fan on it. Nothing functioned, ever. Once I got the Intel logo to come up (bios imbedded) and every reset I got a video card reset. Was the PIII bad? Or did my not adequatly cooling it ruin the chip?
