My friend was having this problem and he upgraded his PSU and motherboard and it was perfectly fine.  It could be the PSU not outputting enough power at times or becoming faulty.

Please note that I am not calling you an idiot or making fun of you in any way. HOWEVER, I really hate when people say randomly, when really they mean intermittently. It's an unjustified pet peeve, and I'm sorry. /fin

 

Anyhow. It could be your GPU throttling itself. What are the temps looking like?

1.Its spelled dying not dieing

 

2.Might not be the GPU but the PSU

I hope its not my PSU and I doubt it will be but i will investigate this with my other gpu and see what happens thanks for the response.

My GPU stays in the high 50s and low 60's on BF3 on a summers day so I doubt heat is an issue.

No problem

Issue Fixed 05/08/16

Used device manager and disabled and re-enabled my GPU

(FPS restored to norm)

EDIT

Turns out my 650 Ti was running in PCIe x1.1 according to GPU-Z
 Disabling and Enabling allowed a x3.0 connection

I was going to say blow the dust outta the card, but looks like you got it already. What a weird issue, good troubleshooting!
