Hello,
He probably has a virus. I remember reading about some virus earlier this year. I think the only way around it was to boot in safe mode, and then run a tool to remove it. You might even have to boot from different media (CD-ROM, floppy) and run the tool from there, bypassing the OS alltogether.
If you do get the machine up, get the data backed up right away, as the repair might result in a format and start over.

If NT AUTHORITY is shutting your system down, you can use the Stinger tool:

What is the exact error message you're getting, by the way?
