301 is a keyboard error, most often caused by a key held down on 
bootup. Make sure one isn't sticking. If she's using the internal, 
plugging in an external will probably be a quick workaround if it's 
at the key level.

The tech manual lists the hardware to check in the order of:

keyboard
interposer card
external numerical keypad
external keyboard
keyboard/mouse cable
system board.

If the checkout stuff is the same as in the 750s, she can run the 
test by holding down the F1 key at boot to get into EZ Setup (if she 
can't get that far, the problem is probably more than a physical 
keyboard problem...) and  press CTRL-A to get to the diagnostic menu, 
then CTRL-K  This'll get the keyboard test screen.

Good luck to her.
