Did you try a second display? If that didn't alter things I would suspect the GPU is in trouble. Unlike the CPU in this series the GPU is soldered to the logic board.

You could try cleaning off the old thermal paste on the GPU heat sink and refresh it. Otherwise its time of a new logic board. Sorry ;-{
