I'd start by checking file permissions, and running processes on both
systems. After that, I'm not sure what I'd check, but would depend on what

There has to be something that is different, obviously. However, I'm nearly
100% positive that it has nothing to do with the hardware its self. I say
nearly, because like anyone else. I can not know everything.
