He said: "I went down the control panel updating drivers and when I got to the graphics card is when it shut down."

Now I have no idea what happened, but he had the latest drivers before I handed the computer over. Any ideas?

He could also try disconnecting the GPU and plugging into the onboard video temporarily.

Ok. I have to drive 2.5 hours to work on this computer so can I just tell the guy to remove the CMOS battery for 5-10 minutes?

Yes, if trying onboard video doesn't work.
