CPU fan could also be screwed in too tightly or lose, probably best to re set it

Low hanging fruit - Re-seat the ram, unplug and plug the cpu power back in on the motherboard.

If its a CPU error, I bet the cpu power (the one closest to the cpu socket) came loose.

Good thoughts as well regarding memory in correct slots if there are 4 slots.

I had him check for a voltage switch first thing. It didn't have one. I didn't think about the RAM slots,
