Tried:
RAM?
Defragmentation?
Kill some startup entries?
If it's from 2003, it'll be really old, so best you save up for a new computer.

No... It sent you to google.
He's just trying to be a smart-ass.
Bottomline; your laptop is too old, you need a new one.

Missed the "crash" part. Faulty hardware. I'm suspecting it to be the hard drive, but I'm not sure.

No its not going to be the hard drive considering you can start up a PC without one. At least you can post and get an error message up or still boot from a CD/DVD.
It defo is hardware related.
Take out the battery entirely but keep the mains adapter plugged in. See if you get anything. I've seen duff batteries do very wierd things.
Failing that its more than likely the inverter, which controls the screen.
You can have them replaced, but the cost varies depending on where you go/whether you send it away to be done or not.
Try to find somewhere local where you can have it looked at, could turn out cheaper than a so-called 'specialist'
Worst case scenerio, your board is flumped.
Good luck

Get a new one, there is no way to upgrade with software, maybe cleaning it up a little, but if you want a significant increase you want to get new parts or a new computer.

reformat and install linux
the only person that got linux to crash was my mother and only once
if you get linux to crash noone will believe you
and it needs less RAM and you can choose from more themes
