CPU's are usually directly attached to the motherboard or they are in a slot that is under a fan. If the CPU is broken, it is very hard to fix because they are small and are not made to be user serviceable. The best thing to do if your CPU goes out is to just go to the store and get a new one that is the same. CPU's are generally expensive so make sure that it wouldn't be cheaper to just go out and get a new computer. It also may be a good idea to just bring your computer to a repair shop and have them replace the CPU so you don't mess something else up too.

Enter your BIOS by pressing the appropriate key as soon as you start up your computer. It varies per brand, but generally it would say "Setup" or "BIOS" followed by a key such as "F10" or "DEL."

Navigate through the menu and usually towards the exit menu there should be a "Restore default settings" option to reset everything.

If you specifically only want to reset the CPU, then navigate to the CPU section of the BIOS menu and set each CPU setting to "AUTO."

PC CPU over heating CPU at over 70c most of the time how can i fix this?

If the CPU is overclocked, reducing the overclocking will help the heat. Also be sure that your case is properly ventilated and air is flowing proprtly. Otherwise you may want to replace the CPU fan and thermal grease. The better the fan and CPU fit together, the better the heat transfer. You will also want to clean or replace the other systems fans because if all the air in the case is hot, it doesn't matter how good the CPU fan is.
