Google search Acer diagnostic CD. Download and burn .iso. Boot from
the CD and run the diagnostic and see what errors it returns. You
could be having several different issues causing the machine to lock
up and become unresponsive. It is likely not OS after restoring to
factory settings, so it would likely be a hardware problem. There are
other things you can do such as removing/swapping memory, etc, but the
diagnostic disc should help you find the issue.

Do a factory-default recovery with the recovery discs supplied with the
PC.
It will wipe out everything that's currently on the C: drive but he can
get everything back from the backups he made earlier - If he didn't keep
any backups I'm amazed because a hard disk can fail at any time and not
having backup copies on a different drive is just plain stupid.
