Just tested a second hdd, and it worked fine! Huh weird. Maybe the hard drive is corrupted? I don't know why it would crash the system though if the floppy was being read.
Power supply issue by the sounds of it. I've seen microATX and old PCs with similar issues (CD ROM access, game starting, even just using all USB ports). I found when Windows rebooted it may have corrupt system files or registry that were being accessed at the time of the failure.
It could also be dodgy or loose RAM that as the machine heats up or vibrates it expands causing shorts...
