Can a Misaligned IDE cause bsod

[DeChache]

Like the title says I was getting an older comp running today and i needed a cd drive and the the only ones I have are in my good comp and well when I putt it back in I started getting BSOD with the warning Machine error or something to that effect. and well the only thing i had done was move that CD drive so i unplugged it and now it works. But I would like to know if it could of been a misaligned cable or something before i break something playing with it.

Thanks
