I don't know if this was just a complete coincidence, but one time I moved a hard drive from an old Celeron PC with Windows XP installed, into a new one that had a Pentium D (dual core) 3.4 ghz or whatever. Upon logging in, it detected and proceeded to install, basically almost everything you see in Device Manager: from keyboard and mouse, to graphics adapter, LAN adapter, to even the USB host controllers, among other odd things that you wouldn't typically see being installed, during a plug and play installation. It then proceeded to lock up the computer, and that was the last time it would POST. Motherboard LED would light up, cpu fan would spin, but nothing else; no hard drive noise, nothing on screen, etc.
