Sounds like you are trying to use a harddrive with a windows install done on different hardware with different drivers. Try repairing it with your windows 8 media.

Startup from the media and it will offer to do a repair. If you can boot into safe mode you might be able to delete all none current drivers and install the new ones.
Or the correct way would have been do a clean install of Win 8 with the new hardware.

Line 4 in that paragraph "If your Windows 8 system refuses to boot, you can use a bootable Windows installer disc"
