Problem booting up

[iviv]

A friend's been having problems with his main computer. I pointed him to this forum, but he only has a hotmail addy, so he gave me the post instead. So, here it is :3

Probs with rig not being able to boot into windows.


Specs:
Intel C2D E4500
MSI P35 Neo
2xOCZ vista upgrade rams ddr2 2gb 667
Asus 8600gt
FSP 450w
Hitachi 150gb



Accoring to what i know. my rig wont boot up. after powering it down. took out the gfx and booted it.
it manage to boot and gave about 5 beeps. the powered it down, slotted the gfx in and booted it again.
it managed to boot, but did not go far and stopped before the loading of vista.

If you need any more info then I'll ask him. Thanks

Apparently, after I made the first post, he tried turning it on again, and its now working fine :x
Should I tell him to restart it a couple of times, see if the problem happens again? Or are there a couple of tests he could run in windows while its up and running?
