I'd start by removing and reseating all the cards, including the RAM. Generally, this will be a video card, RAM, or a processor that came slightly loose.
Checking bios codes will tell you exactly what it is, but 90% of the time, it'll be one of these 3, since they're the only things that are REALLY needed. Unless he's been playing inside, I doubt that anything is cooked. He'd be able to smell it if it was (generally).
