There have been time where my GPU's give me weird fps issue to where sometimes I am hitting 30fps at RANDOM in a middle of a game like bf4, or thief, and whenever I enable sli or diable SLI my GPU core clocks show a max of 549mhz, and my memory usage goes to this insanely high number and the line on the graph is stuck all the way at the top as if I were playing a game or something but I am not. I have to restart my comp so my GPU's get back to normal.

I have tried a new motherboard, new ram, and two new video cards, but the SLI thing still happens, and the FPS thing (though recently it has not dropped to 30fps yet) still happens. If it doesnt go down to 30fps, it will get stuck at a lower FPS than what iut should be at. I was looking on the BF4 map before you deploy and I was hitting 60fps for no reason. Id die, and go back to the deploy menu and Id be at 90. This happens when Im playing as well. The Fraps FPS counter int he corner looks all jittery like its not sure what FPS it should be at. I know it moves around a lot, but thats how I see my FPS get stuck. I am literally out of luck, aside from buying a new PSU to figure this out.

Could my PSU have any affect on any of the things I have said above?

4960x, asus sabertooth x79, 4x4 16gb dominator platinum, 1500w EVGA psu, 780ti SC SLI

"Once you exit the game, the Fraps FPS counter can behave erratically. Though it usually doesn’t appear in Windows, at times it will pop up. If you want to get rid of it while not playing a game, just close Fraps from the taskbar. Start it up again when you’re about to head into another gaming session."

Alright well thanks for the fraps info, but i still need some info on why i occasionally drop to a low fps, such as 30fps when starting or in mid game, and random low drops when they shouldnt be happening
