I can’t see the error code, cuz my son is at school. He says it displays briefly for about 5 seconds then the screen goes blank. Lots of usual stuff about BIOS and hex code addresses.

Yeah, that's frustrating. You might find a potential solution on the google search I linked. Just remember, if you are having a computer problem, at least 1,000 other people have it as well, and probably 200 of them started a thread about it. The key is figuring out the phrases they used to describe the problem. Get that right, and you'll find some threads. And on at least a few of those threads, someone will have proposed a successful resolution to the problem.

In other words, the internet rocks. My machine is now almost five years old because I was able to find threads that described how to solve my crash issues.
