Could be your hard disk drive slowing down below the average read/write.

....loud noies.....loud noises.....like Fan NOISES?...like your fans spinning up? try to cool your overheating CPU or graphic card ?

Did you clean your pc out of dust complete from every Single heat sink?
Did you monitor any of the temperatures? Core Temp for cpu and GPU-Z for graphic card.

Download GPU-Z Go to the sensor tab and make sure to click on Continue refreshing this screen .
Start the game Wait for your game to slow down, exit the game and click on the temperature in GPU-Z till it changes to MAX tell us how hot it gets.

Although that's true its not the issue. His card is performing reasonably fine with 45-60 fps low settings.

The issue is the drop to 10FPS every 10 seconds. Usually FPS will dip as more enemies are on screen but not every 10 seconds for no reason.

Hi JorDz it would be great if u download a small program called Parkdale to test your hdd speed http://thesz.diecru.eu/content/parkdale.php
Its a simple software u don't have to install it just run as admin leave file size 1000 and block size 64kByte and start. Later just post your results.

Just in case i recommend that u use CPUID HWMonitor and take a picture of all your voltages & temps when the drop starts. What Power Supply u have?

Bitcoin mining viruses cause heavy loads on the GPU in sporadic bursts, usually less than a minute apart. This would explain FPS drops and sudden fan speed increases. It's a possibility, I recommend you leave your computer idle, with nothing at all loaded, and see if the fans spin up constantly every 30 secs or so.

I get fps drops as well, usually on dragons teeth maps. I could be cruising 100fps one second then drop to 19 for no reason at all and i have to tab out and back in to fix the issue. Doesnt always fix the problem but it does 99% of the tme

It's almost been 3 days and the OP hasn't returned.

If he was serious about solving this issue he would be posting like crazy and taking advantage of our knowledge and willingness to help.
