Could be something as simple as the monitor not displaying the resolution. Have him hit the <F8> repeatedly as the system is booting and see if he can bring it up in safe mode. If that works then reboot and this time use VGA mode.

Is it the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) i.e. does it flash to a blue screen and then restart? If this is the case then it must be a driver or hardware problem. Try to read what's on the blue screen and post it here.

First try starting it in Safe Mode as mentioned by rch1231 above.
