might sound stupid, but if the owner's voltage from the wall is a bit low, the system runs slower too...

I would say he is keeping it in a very warm place. Sounds like the CPU is getting too hot, and the bios is slowing down the chip speed to cool itself. Anotherwards a heat issue

Maybe the clients electricty wiring in his house is screwed up? Take the PC to his house and test it with a Ammeter and a Voltmeter, then compare the readings to when you have the PC

The power company tested the power going to the house there is no, what they called power drop from the pole to the house. They even replaced the meter. I will definitly take Ammeter and a Voltmeter to test the inside wiring then compare the 2

Damn I never knew having the wrong memory could cause so many problems. Only thing I don't understand you say the PC was fine when it was with you but not with the client? WTF?
