| probably a 478.
id say its overheating and clocking the speed really low to protect itself from damage, so low infect that it malfunctions.

| well first, are you able to move the heatsink easily or does it seem firmly placed.
is it clean ?
does the fan operate well ?
if the heatsink was seperated from the chip, you may need to clean the contacts of the heatsink and chip and regrease them with fresh thermal grease, there may as well be air pockets and dust contamination between the heatsink and processor if it seperated, especially if its never been seperated for a few years, the grease may have solidified thus not providing proper heat transfer.
