My FPS will drop from 100+ to 20 and stay there for a good minute and go back to 100+

It didn't do this a few days ago and I didn't touch my computer...

I recently replaced my GPU with a GTX 1070, I scanned and got rid of viruses, updated graphics drivers, my CPU is at a stable 60 celsius, GPU at 70-80 celsius (Founders edition so it runs hot).

I don't know what to do. Please help...

Specs:
GPU - GTX 1070 Founders Edition
CPU - i5-4690
Motherboard - Gigabyte H81M-HD3
12GB of Ram
650W Power Supply
 
Solution
Do the usual things,

Check cpu & gpu temps with realtemp/hwmonitor

Check cpu, memory and hdd activity in task manger. Sort highest processes top to bottom and keep an eye out. Search google about any process consuming large amounts of memory to get an explanation.

Backup your data/ steamapps. Do a fresh Windows install.

If on Win 10 there are tutorials how to reinstall using usb/dvd without serial key.
