Try cleaning out your fan, it may be clogged and causing heat build up which in turn caused throttling.

(If you have removed the heatsink from CPU try removing it, cleaning with isopropanol, reapply with tiny amount of fresh transfer paste.)

To confirm if throttling, take to cool place, let system cool down and see if it starts ok, then throttles one it gets a bit warm). You can also monitor CPU temp.
