What's with her?
A: It seems like she is a bit upset.
B: -------?
A: I think she got into an argument with her husband.
B: That's too bad. Hopefully they can work things out.
1) What’s going on?
2) What’s with her?
To me, #1 is nicer. It shows more concern. Also, #2 sounds a bit derogatory and disparaging. I'd say it's not a phrase I'd use in such cases, in fact. Correct me if I am wrong. I'd more likely say, 'what's up with her', which could sound either way, depending on intonation.
