I doubt a warranty will cover electrical damage, but you can ask.....
 An insurance policy is more likely to cover this.  :-)    Run
Diagnostics on the RAM (which is the reported error) and your
motherboard.  The PSU may also be damaged. Run Diagnostics on the hard
drives, after you get it up and running.
