Sudden random drop in FPS...

So I have started playing Skyrim again after a bit of a break from the game. I've installed a few new mods, and everything has run perfectly fow about a week since. 2 nights ago, however, I have noticed a sudden and significant drop in FPS, occuring long after any of these mods were installed. Before, I was able to run everything on maximum settings in the high-40s FPS. Now, I estimate I am chugging along at roughly 30. I have also noticed that my GPU does not increase in temperature during play. Normally after exiting Skyrim, or any game, my GPU's temp sits at around 70° C. Since the drop in FPS has occured, I have found that the temp is still at the idle temperature of 42° C. It is only Skyrim that does this, as my other games run smooth and fully utilize my GFX card.

 

I have checked and found that my drivers are all up to date, and this problem occured days after the last mod I installed, so I doubt it is anything related to them. What can I do?

 

System stats:

 

MOBO: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe.

CPU: AMD 955 Black Edition Quad Core @ 3.2 GHz.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance (4x2) 8GB @ 1600 in unganged mode.

GPU: Sapphire AMD HD 6870 1 GB.
