First thin I would check would be the memory. Try booting with one stick at a time if using multiple sticks. You can also use Memtest to test your memory for errors.

How is he posting here?

Memtest is a program that is put on a floppy. You boot to the floppy and run it from there.

Or he could run the Windows version in safe mode
