So how exactly does killing the cpu keep hard drive contents from being read? I'm sure there's a piece of technology I'm missing here. Is the computer hardware somehow involved in the hd bit encryption (on encrypted hard drives)?

Exactly. It seems to me like any problem this solves (hardware being stolen) could be solved even more effectively with insurance.
