New hard drive take some "provisioning". You must partition the drive, format the partion, and mark the partiotion as bootable.
YOu may have to perform these tasks from DOS prompt outside of OS.
I hope you have completed these types of tasks before as it can be frustrating if you miss a step.
Let us know where you get stuck at.

Hi there,
Are you trying to boot from the HDD? Do you have the OS installed on it? Are you trying to boot from the new drive or somehow connecting the new drive interrupts another one from booting?
Shutting down may not be connected directly to the HDD. Are you sure you are not facing any heating issue? Is the new drive visible in BIOS?
I am sorry I can not provide you with a possible solution right now, but I need those clarifications.
