Did you try a fresh OS install? And/or booting a different (confirmed to work) drive? Did you update the Bios? 

He did not update the bios and he did not do a fresh install of windows, it doesnt even get to the screen to tell him to go into bios

possible it could be a bad stick of ram, but trying telling him to force reset the bios using the jumper pin on the motherboard first

wouldnt just taking out the cmos and putting it back reset the bios?

well it does show the MoBo logo which is usually the place where you can go into the bios (del, f2 and f12 are common keys), on some MoBos (espcecially OEM ones) there are no onscreen instructions on how to get there
