First, I'd recommend putting drive back into Asus machine and run the "Install Drivers" program. If it does show that the proprietary AMD drivers are installed, uninstall them and move back to generic "ati, radeon" drivers. The machine you're switching to has NVidia so you don't want AMD drivers on there. You can install NVidia drivers after get the system booted properly in the computer you're moving to.
However, that is not your main problem. LL 1.0.8 is based on Ubuntu 12.10 and uses that kernel hardware stack, which is now unsupported. I have no experience fixing this type of thing, but found some info for you to look through. Seem that you have two choices:
1. Install the hardware stack for 14.04 (Trusty) to the LL 1.08 system, or
2. Install LL 2.0 or 2.2 and restore your data files from a backup. Can also follow "Method #2" of your link above to create a list of programs to reinstall on the new installation.
Here's info regarding hardware stack and how to install new one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack. Here is one pertainent quote that applies to your situation:
Before you do anything, I recommend making a full backup of your /home folder and also make that list of your currently installed packages just in case something goes terribly wrong.
If you have a separate /home partition, everything will be much easier if you go with installing LL 2.0 or 2.2. Can give guidance on that if you need it.

Quote:11. The 12.10 enablement stack will only be supported in Precise from the time it appears in the 12.04.2 point release until the 14.04.1 time frame.
12. When the 12.10 enablement stack reaches its EOL, 12.10 enablement stack users will NOT be automatically upgraded to the 14.04 enablement stack in Precise. Users will need to manually upgrade to the 14.04 enablement stack in order to continue receiving official support (ie security updates and bug fixes). We will aggressively message (ie MOTD, USN, update-manager, etc.) when the 12.10 enablement stack is reaching its EOL and provide instructions on updating to the 14.04 enablement stack.
