Answer:

Desktop computer is probably single-voltage

Explanation:

The problem is most likely as a result of voltage difference. He have to get a dual-voltage switch that can accept both 110-120V and 220-240V. As the voltage of the the United States will most likely be different from the voltage in his home country. Or get a power adapter (single voltage) that suits the voltage of the US.
