I was switching out a CD-RW drive from one machine to another last
night.  The machine I installed it on is a Windows 2000 Server, P3, 900
Mhz, 256 mb ram.   I ONLY disconnected the CD ROM cables and power cable
to it.

When I put it back together, and powered on, the computer turned on for
about 2 seconds and then turned off.  I checked all the cables, took out
the memory chips, tried it again, and same thing.

Do I start with the power supply as the culprit or go right to the
motherboard and consider replacing it?

Thanks
