I'm at a loss as to what is causing the issue so I'll just recount the past few days if you'll bear with me:
I recently upgraded to a new PC it was mostly pre-built except for the graphics card which I ordered separately and put in my self, not something entirely within my comfort zone, once in the screen was black while the cursor was visible and on the first start up with the gpu there were a series of beeps from the motherboard, however after installing the drivers every start up since has had the normal single beep and the display appears to be fine. I had it checked by a friend who has experience in computers (probably should've asked him to install the gpu in the first place) and he assured me it was fine, and the install went correctly. (The gpu shows up on geforce experiance, dxdiag ect)
Not long after he reassured me, my local power supplying began to 'tweak' (their words) the electric in my area without any prior warning (they only gave a breif explanation after being phoned) this caused the trip switch/circuit breaker in the house to go off twice, the pc was at this time connected to a surge protected extension but it was a few years old and a supermarket one (I now have a more solid one), after the first time I left the pc off, after the second I unplugged it entirely for the night.
The next day the PC appeared to be fine, userbenchmark gave back above expected for everything(UFO) and Warhammer 2 benched at 60 fps. However after spending the day on Warhammer messing with shaders/presets and mods I noticed the fps was something on average 20 even on benchmark, at first I thought it was the mods however it seemed unlikely due to my specs, and even after benching on vanilla the game still came back 20 fps or less.
I ran a standard userbenchmark which came back with the cpu(110%) performing below expections and the gpu performing way below (91%). The same has happened today, the pc starts out fine and seems to get worse and it seems to be mostly due to the gpu.
The maximum temperature on the gpu and cpu is about 65C(150F) (according to hwmonitor) so I'm not sure thats the problem.
Strangely things appear to temporarily resolve after a restart with benches returning to normal, however this doesn't resolve the issue fully the problems soon return, with games that should be fine under these specs becoming slideshows.
I've reinstalled graphics drivers already and I'm not sure what the problem could be. I've been told power surges don't tend to deal in subtle damage but more bricking components so I'm not sure if the trip switch is relevant.
The gpu connects to the psu by a single daisy chain modular 6+2.
Thankyou in advance for any help.
Specifications:
Intel Core i7 9700k 3.6 GHz
Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero
32gb Corsair Vengence DDR4 2666MHZ
1TB Samsung 860 EVO 2.5 SSD
Corsair 750W TXm 80 plus GOLD
CoolerMaster Hyper 212X cpu fan
Aorus GTX 1080ti
As a side note, the pc came with a wireless pcie card , although I use an ethernet and bullguard antivirus.
Thank you in advance for any advice I hope I've been somewhat clear.
