I checked the settings, and the voltages were
Vcore voltage 1.27V (I've seen this reporting low before)
3.3V Voltage 3.34V
5V Voltage 5.05V
12V Voltage 12.08V

The CPU Fan speed warning was set to 800RPM, and the actual speed was 266RPM

The computer either boots up and is very slow, or programs don't run, or it doesn't come up at all.

Hi there.

It seems that the bios is reporting correctly and the CPU is over heating, time to change the CPU Fan, it shouldn't cost more than $10-15, for a reg fan and $20-30 for a premium fan, + installation if needed, but you HAVE to have the RIGHT FAN, it is BETTER to have it done professionaly, because it is easy to break some of the fan/cpu tabs and the fan (with heat sink) will never fit again and if powered the cpu will SELF DESTRUCT, REALY.
