I recently installed a DVD/CD-rw combo drive on to a computer and everything was fine until I started to burn a CD. In the middle of the CD burning the computer restarted mysteriously and suddenly.
During the restart when XP was loading the computer died again.
Now, I can turn on the computer but the monitor registers no input and I don't know whether or not the computer is going through its start up process or not.
I have removed all the components and it still does the same thing.
Would any techers here have insight to what is going on here?
Could it be a broken power supply? I don't have any extra components to test it with.
The monitor works, I have plugged it into my laptop to test with.
Could this be a power supply issue? Video Card? Some other fried component?
Thank you in advance for you help.
//EDIT:: I'm trying to garner as much information as possible on the computer as possible. (it's hard since it's Chinese)

The DVD/CD-rw I installed: Samsung TS-H492
Old (broken) DVD drive: BenQ DVP1648A
