I wouldn't take it as gospel.  Every machine I've looked at with a gross
memory fault, or missing memory, has given a repeated long beep at POST
regardless of BIOS manufacturer.

If the CPU has been knocked or misaligned as a result of your friend
fitting the memory, that could also cause symptoms of memory failure.  I
don't think you have said what the CPU/chipset are.
