Hello, forever I've had low fps for my rig in CSGO (Low settings - 1080p) with it running at 140ish, recently I've noticed it dropping into the 60's when there's a smoke popped too.

Before I loaded up GTAV and I was driving around at 50fps (Everything on Normal apart from Textures VHigh) and I kept stuttering down to 2-8 fps and chopping for a few seconds before I blue screened 5 times. I reinstalled my drivers and it isn't freezing anymore but my fps is still pretty low, it doesn't really change apart from 5fps between 1440x1080 Low and my current settings, the same with CSGO.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as I've seen Benchmarks ect of people getting much higher fps with my rig.CSGO is my main game so it sucks to see it dropping into the 60's...

Something definitely wrong here.

Specs :

GTX 970 Strix
i5 3570K
Intel DH61WW mobo
8GB DDR3
240GB SSD
600W PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro

Thanks for the reply.

Later on I had another error for memory, so I took out one stick and had beeps instantly. RIP RAM.

Looks like I'll have to buy more, prices are crazy at the moment tho.
