Hi there,
For the past week or so I've been experiencing some serious frame rate drops, normally i'm getting at least 60fps on all the games I play.
It seems to work fine, then i'll shut down come back the next day run the very same game with the exact same settings and get between 10-20 frames per second... which is incredibly frustrating.
My Rig:
i5 6600K Overclocked to 4.2ghz
MSI GTX 970 (no overclock)
8gb DDR4 RAM
Asus Z170 Gaming Motherboard
Cooler Master 212 Evo Heat Sink
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS
Connection to 144hz monitor through DVI.
Now before we jump to solutions;
One interesting thing i have found, it seems to run normally if i turn off the PSU after shutting down. Does this mean my PSU is screwed? I've heard my PSU isn't the best - but I've also heard that it shouldn't interfere with in game performance.
Any solutions welcome.
Cheers.

Now before we jump to solutions;
Temps on CPU 35 degrees C on average (highest 55 degrees, lowest 25 degrees).
Temps on GPU around 30 degrees idle (goes up to around 40 in game) - although i'm not in long enough to see any changes.
Removed all Nvidia drivers and reinstalled - no change.
Changed the graphics driver value to 8 in regedit - no change.
Changed graphics to low - no change.
Used malwarebytes to scan HD - no change.
Cleaned case and components of any dust - no change.
I do the get the "Display driver has stopped responding and had recovered" message but this has never caused any problems before, its popped up for months.
