I think she may have forgotten to disconnect the net cable... and the mb got a jolt from that? May mean a new mb; ram, cards and cpu may have survived, may not have. Get it checked at a dealer's who has a tech on hand.
The sys will run POST and other checks with only one stick of RAM installed, so you can try with no drives hooked up, remove extraneous cards also.
