I just bought my new GTX 970 due to my GTX 470 died and a new case because my old case can't fit in my new GPU. It works perfectly fine after my friend and I swap into the new case. When I game I got like 60-120 ish fps but when I restart my PC or long period of time and run the game again my fps are starting become decreasing to under 20-50 fps and starts lagging, stuttering and sound cutting off. The only way to solve this issue is to shut down and let it cooldown for couple minutes. I tried to clean my PC, CPU fan, re thermal paste, uninstall Nvidia driver and re install the latest with clean install enabled nothing solved.
