Check for any loose connections inside the pc, the video card, the power supply cables, the hard drive cables, etc.

In general you can't take a Windows install from one pc and put it in another. If the mobo, cpu etc is almost exactly the same, you might just get away with it, but usually due to different hardware, drivers etc you get a BSOD. I believe there's a method called sysprep that does this, but you may get licence/activation issues.
