Macbook Pro Suddenly Running Very Slow

Hi everyone!

I've very recently experienced some serious slowdown with my MacBook Pro 13" (mid-2010) and was hoping someone could help me identify the probem. The slow down is particularly apparent when running games or watching video on YouTube or Twitch to the point where games are unplayable and the video is unwatchable. It's also worth noting that my fan appears to have died recently (smcfancontrol showing 0 rpm), so maybe it's a heat related issue.

Here are the details from Etrecheck:
