Skyrim frame rate issue for first 5 minutes of gameplay

Skyrim frame rate issue for first 5 minutes of gameplay - Four Orange Roses Arranged to Make a Square Shape

I have quite a good computer with a core i7 processor, GeForce GT750, 16 GB RAM, so Skyrim should run smoothly all the time. However, for the first 5 minutes of gameplay the sound lags, the frame rate drops sometimes and after 5 minutes it runs smoothly. The only reason I can think of is that the gpu takes a while to boot up, and it is just using integrated graphics for the first five minutes but I'm probably wrong. What else can be the source of my problem?
