Well, booting from DVD is better when USB3 support is not broken. Should 
this be the problem, one can boot from USB2 drive (preferably in USB2 
port, if available). Unless we have at least some error message, we can 
only guess, be it the NVMe disk or what not. Ask him to enable verbose 
logging in the bootloader, if he can actually see something in the VGA 
console.
