What make and model is your PC ?

Crucial.com an excellent web site that helps you identify what type of
memory your system uses and what choices you have for upgrades.
The also are generally very competitive prices.

You can use CPU-Z from http://www.cpuid.com or Or EVEREST from
http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?p [...] &subpage=5
to find out the type of ram in your computer.

That does make it more difficult. Has he said why it won't
boot? Does he know how to boot to safe mode? Do you know
what his operating system is? Does he know about boot
disks?

Is it plugged in and the switch on the wall turned ON? No
blown fuses?
