Is this a coinsidence or is it some sort of short circuit
We have a small shop and in that shop we have a computer that we use at the POS (point of sales).
It is a custom built desktop, with a Gigbit motherboard, no extra sound card or graphics card. It ran Windows 7 32 bit.
The day before yesterday it bluescreened and I saved the dump on another computer. This is the information from the dump:

Yesterday the computer would not boot up at all. We removed the wireless keyboard (as that was the last hw addition to the computer, added about 1 month ago) and the computer finally did boot up and actually worked for a while until it got stuck in some sort of boot loop, where it would shut down and boot up again, but boot long enough to show anything on the screen.
We picked up a brand new computer (custom build, Gigabit motherboard, no extra sound- or graphics, Windows 8 64 preinstalled). We took out the HD and plugged in the HD from the old computer in it, as it has all the software we need on it, and started the new computer. To our surprise it began to act exactly as the old computer, getting stuck in a boot loop, shuting down and starting up without getting anywere.
We removed the old hd from the new computer and replugged the hd it was shipped with, but is just went into the same boot loop.
Thing is we did not try to start up the new computer with it's original HD so we do not really know it this would have happened anyway. What could have happened here, is it a coinsidens or did the old HD break the new computer some how?
