Pretty much anything could be broken. RAM, power supply, motherboard, disk drive, CPU, cables, .... As a first step if you don't have spares to swap the various parts out (and assuming you want to spend the time to try and keep the system running), you could try reseating all connectors, clean RAM contacts with a pencil eraser, visually inspect the boards looking for swollen capacitors, etc...
