<insert background info here>
So I finally got around to getting the proper CD-ROM drivers installed this week, and Doom was the first thing I put on. Only problem is the fact that it barely runs at 1FPS. So I installed Heretic, and got the same problem. I tried some really old 80s games that I had on some 5.25" floppies, and of course those ran without any problems.
So at first I thought it might be the virus scanner (which was 195 months out of date apparently,) but after removing it there was no change.
I'm at a loss for what the problem is right now. The only guess I can make is that there's something wrong with the video card or the CPU. Here are the contents of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS:
AUTOEXEC.BAT
CONFIG.SYS

After some digging around and the use of Polish engineering I came up with this.
I used this heat-sink on my old Dell, which was able to run Doom 3, albeit at low framerates, and not crash from over-heating. I don't have a fan currently, but I think this should do for now. -
Okay now the system won't boot. No idea why.
The thermal paste I applied was Arctic Silver 5 (which as you can guess is silver-based), but after removing both the heat sink and the paste it still won't boot. I'm disconnecting the CMOS battery for 20 minutes to see if it will boot afterwards.
EDIT: Alright the CPU card became loose somehow. Unscrewed it, plugged it back in, and it started up. -
