Hardware Salvation: What Would You Do?

Hardware Salvation: What Would You Do?

When cleaning out my old office recently, I came across a dusty old desktop I hadn't used in some time.  This week, I decided to set it up in my daughter's room.

The first thing I did was install all the updates to the operating system, Ubuntu 13.10. Then, I gave her a whirl.  Everything is great, but once in a while, the screen will freeze in a trippy psychedelic state.  That's no good...

I bought this desktop about six years ago for $250.  I'd like it to put it back in service without graphic card crashes.  Here's the specs:

If this was your hardware you wanted to breathe new life into, what would you do?
