I built a custom pc for gaming around 3 months ago and up until now it has been working smoothly.I used to consistently get 300 fps in CS:GO, but I am now getting 100-140 fps and fps drops down to 50-80. It is also taking an extremely long time to open the game. After clicking play and showing that the game is running, it takes 30 seconds for the game to open a black screen and another 30 seconds for the game to actually start. I tested this with other games and they are slow to open as welI can't figure out what is wrong and help would be greatly appreciated.
My specs

  • MOBO: MSI z97 gaming 5
    Graphics Card: EVGA Gtx 970
    CPU: Intel i5 4690k
    ram: 8gb corsair venegance ddr3
    PSU: evga 750w bronze
    1tb hard drive
    windows 8.1 pro

I cant figure out why but I think it was due to over heating. I put fan control speed on a higher setting and I think its fixed for now

That still doesn't explain why it was fine before, and started acting up out of the blue. Unless you recently did a heavy OC, or started playing more graphically intense games.
