What was it at 50 degrees, the CPU, GPU or motherboard? You have to make sure that neither of them is overheating. Otherwise you'll see one of those components throttling (dropping its clock-speed) itself in order to prevent heat damage. And speaking of throttling you have to make sure that the CPU and GPU are able to reach and maintain their maximum frequency. If for some reason one of them is dropping its clock speed or operating below it's normal frequency levels while gaming, then you'll see reduced framerates.

Finally you have to check CPU and GPU usages during gaming and after exiting a game. That way you'll know if something abnormal is happening. As you can see you have to make sure that your system's hardware is operating...

It could be an overheating issue. Have you ever cleaned your system and its fans from dust? Make sure that your PC case,its fans and the CPU/GPU cooling systems are dust free and all the fans are spinning. Also monitor the various system temps (CPU,GPU, motherboard) and make sure that nothing is overheating. If you don't have such software download CPUID Hardware Monitor. Good luck.

Finally you have to check CPU and GPU usages during gaming and after exiting a game. That way you'll know if something abnormal is happening. As you can see you have to make sure that your system's hardware is operating normally and once you've accomplished that, you can turn your attention to possible software causes. Good luck.
