The only time I have seen this sort of error in installation was with XP. The issue was RAM (even though the tests came back fine). If he has more than 1 DIMM, remove one of them and see if it works, then try the other, then try one of yours.
If that doesn't work have you tried installing with your graphics card / RAM / CPU in his PC? If it installs, then you could swap them back.
