Doesn't have DDR3 ram yet.

The problem is whenever he turns on his pc it works for a split second and then turns off. Was doing this before he got the processor. Everything shuts down. He has to turn the power supply switch off then on again for it to turn on andturn off on him again. Is it the lack of ram, faulty power supply, faulty motherboard, faulty case, or another unknown? We know it is know the processor.

You need RAM, it is required to get a PC functioning.
