I've read that cheap power supplies, even if they haven't burned out, can
cause intermittent problems, as can hardware problems with any of a myriad

If she can do safe mode and nothing else (and if safe mode boots reliably)
then that suggests corrupt video/sound/whatever drivers.  Well, that's
what it suggests to me, anyway, but my knowledge is pretty limited.
