This is an odd one, as it only shuts down when a music CD is inserted, not data? Will it run normally without any CD inserted? If the logic board and keyboard has been tested OK or isolated, it only leaves the PSU and CD drive as culprits. There is no way only a music CD but not a data CD can shut down, as powered completely off, a Mac. The same goes for the CD, there is no difference between reading a music or data CD. The only faults I've ever seen causing shutdown at startup, or shortly afterwards have been due to a poor mains switch arcing, it will feel weak and you can hear the arcing as it fails.
