Sudden split second freezing/fps drops

The title pretty much says it all. Just as of recently (within the past couple days) I’ve been experiencing split second freezes. It’s as if my FPS drops to 0 for about a quarter of a second. It’s been occurring about 3-6 times per match. It’s pretty frustrating cause some of these times it’s caused me to die when I could of probably survived. Some other people in-game have said they’ve been experiencing the same issues recently. I’m not sure this helps but I’ll list my system specs below.

intel i-7 4790 CPU
geforce gtx 1070 - Software version: 399.24
windows 7 - 64 bit - Up to date
