FPS Drops after i installed a new motherboard and cpu.

Hello everybody! I've had this problem for a few month now and was hoping someone on here could help me.
So i installed a new motherboard (MSI 970 gaming) and a new CPU (AMD FX 9590) and my FPS will drop for a few seconds every 30 seconds or so. I've tried to reinstall Windows 7 but i believe it was a OEM version since my computer keeps saying failed to verify Windows. I have another version of Windows Ultimate lying around here somewhere so i might try to install that instead.
I a post from someone else who had the same problem a couple of years back. He said the problem was that a BIOS setting was holding back cores. I have no idea what setting that was though.
I've also tried to download MSI Afterburner and checked on the NVidia page for my GPU and it said that my
Base Clock (MHz) should be 980 and i've noticed sometimes it drop to ~130. My GPU is up to date according to NVidia Experience.
According to this site the CPU and motherboard should be compatible: FX-9590 A List of Motherboards That Fit FX-9590
I am currently running BIOS 22.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe heat is the issue.
My GPU is constantly ~30-50 degrees celcius.

is the RAM also compatible?

By Nvidia 760 you are actually saying that you have a GTX 760?

How about filling out your system specs a bit more... you would get a more accurate help.

Also did you update your Video and Audio Drivers after W7 installation or did you use the drivers from the CD.

Going with Ultimate will not hurt either.

What power supply you're using? If it doesn't have sufficient amount of power to use your parts correctly it could be a issue too.

Im using a Corsair CX 750W.

I appoligise for the sloppy info i supplied you all with.
My GPU is a Gainward Geforce GTX 760 2GB
My CPU is a AMD FX 9590
My motherboard is a MSI Gaming 970.
HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Black.
My CPU cooler is a Corsair Cooling Hydro H55.
My power supply is Corsair CX 750W.

I was able to activate my Windows.

I have updated my video drivers using Geforce Experience but i have forgotten to update my audio drivers (which i will do now).

It sounds as though you have the CPU's turbo mode turned on in the BIOS. That will mess with your clock speeds every few seconds or so, and might be causing the FPS drop. Is the FPS drop significant? How many FPS are we talking about?

Well i mostly play Counter-Strike so i will use that as an example.
In CS:GO is usually get around 150-200 FPS. Every few seconds it will drop to 15-40 FPS.
I have tested it on other games too and everyone had the same result.

How do i turn off my CPU's turbo mode?
I've tried turning off AMD Turbo Core Technology and will update you all in a few.

It does not appear to have worked. I still get FPS drops every now and then.

Does anyone else have any ideas as to what could be the cause of the problem?
Anything is greatly appreciated :)
