FPS trouble with HL2 and it's MODS!

Hi all I apologise profusely if I'm posting in the wrong area. I'll try and tell you as best I can what my problem is. I'm a noob ya see. I've tried a few games and they all seem to run fairly well, however my problem is when I play any source mods. My fps goes as high as about 120 but then drops down to about 15! It doesn't seem to make any difference what resolution / settings I use as I've played around with them. I wasn't sure if this was a hardware or software issue. I tried installing the latest nvidia drivers but it doesn't seemed to have made any difference. Anyone experienced this?

Operating System: Win XP

CPU (Processor): Intel P4 3Ghz

Motherboard: ASRock P4I65G

RAM: 1GB DDR (not sure what it is but it's a bit turd I think)

Graphics Card/s Installed: BFG 7800GS 256mb (agp)

Power Supply: I'm a bit lost here, I know it's 500 - 550watts though.
