You might be best off replacing the motherboard with the same model or maybe repairing the one you have. Are there bulging caps on the motherboard? That is a common problem with some motherboards, although I'm not sure about this particular model.
If you change the hardware, won't that possibly void the Windows license, causing you to buy a new one? That's if it is an OEM version.
What you have is a can of worms. If you upgrade anything, you will end up doing a lot of work. The ROMs do change. If you update MAME from version 0.80, there will be massive ROM changes.
So basically, if you don't want to spend a bunch of time and money, you are probably best off repairing or replacing the motherboard and installing a new hard drive. Anything else opens up a can of worms!
