not alot of info to go on , sounds like some sort of hardware issue for sure
only way to know would be to swap out a few things with known working hardware to eliminate what has died hard disk & pci hardware etc..

get the startup CD for the proper OS..such as winxp or vista etc. put that in the computer in the first few seconds of turning it on..then let it crash whatever..turn it back on with the CD in and it should boot from the cd

It sounds like a problem with the  motherboard. He could also have a bad stick of RAM . I don't think it's a bad hard drive.

Make sure the fan on your processor is spinning and blow all the dust out of your case to rule out overheating.  Check that everything is plugged in tight.  If you have more than 1 stick of ram, take one out and test (make sure you put the single stick in the right socket). Then swap sticks and try again. If you are still freezing on boot, temporarily swap video cards with another machine. If you are still freezing, it's probably the motherboard.
