Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would carefully blow out all the dust that collected in those 2 years, and then boot from CD and run memtest for several hours (maybe 24 hours) to check for intermittent RAM issues. I would also look carefully at all capacitors on the motherboard to see if any have expanded or "blown" (got a hole in them), which can happen to older motherboards, some electrolytic capacitors used in that era were not always high quality and can dry out and then stop doing their job, making the machine unstable. If the board has the capacitor issue, it is basically impractical to repair it. If you think the issue is with the installer and not with the hardware, you could put it on the Internet (behind a firewall router) and then update it (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade), reboot, and try upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 with sudo do-release-upgrade and see if that works. If it does, you could then do the same thing again to get from there to 12.10 if you want to run 12.10.
