you've given description of progressively worsening problems. suspect hardware. if able run livecd before not now, , problem seems have worsened time, indicates either motherboard going, or video card. d630 should able run modern flavours of ubuntu no problem, not case of hw being under-powered.

still have dell hw diagnostics cds? if so, may wish give try , run complete set of hw diagnostics.
