its the blaster virus mate
he will have to boot it up and edit the registry before it tells him its shutting down. will be fine after hes done this once. have a check on the net for a guide to doing it, there will be plenty floating about
and by the way, re-formatting it wont cure the problem as it will do it once its had a fresh install of windows cos it works on something like the IP address of the pc
