After upgrading my video card and PSU from a generic PSU and palit gt 9500 to aerocool strikeX 600w modular and palit gtx 650ti my computer starts slowing down.
I tried installing windows 7 & 8 and installing the drivers of the video card, at first it is running smoothly but after i tried rebooting my system it is very slow to the point that dota2 is running at 1-10fps
my computer specs:
amd phenom ii x6 1090t
asrock 880gm-le
4gb g.skill ripjaw 1600
500gb hdd
what can i do to fix this problem? thanks

overheating might be the issue here, what case do you have? how many fans? can you monitor your temps idle and on load?i am using hwmonitor to check my temperature...it my cpu stays at an average of 41 and my gpu at 68 during normal use(watching movies,browsing the net) even watching movies using my browser is lagging
i am using i think a generic case, just 1 fan from the side but i do not close the side panel so air could flow freely
Edit: after using palit thundermaster app i could see that my gpu core usage is 99% is it normal?

Have you tried going to the nVidia website and download the latest drivers??? That could be the most simple solution.....Maybe you should try to uninstall all of the graphical drivers. A program that helped me doing this is guru3d. After uninstalling you need to install the newest drivers.
Good luck.

now that i am using my pc without rebooting(computer working smoothly) i noticed the temperature of my cpu and gpu decreased...
my cpu at idle is around 33Celsius and my gpu is around 40Celsius
while playing dota2 my cpu is at 36Celsius and my gpu is at 46Celsius...
what could cause my computer to work slower and at higher temperature after rebooting?

i think i have fixed my problem. what i did was create a partition and installed windows 7 on it and after that, i searched the gtx 650ti driver from my windows8 partition then it now works perfectly with my windows 7 but my computer is still slow when using my windows 8....do you think this will work fine for a long time? or my card is really damaged?

i made a partition in my hard drive then i installed windows 7 on it....then i opened my pc using windows 7 then i searched the driver in my windows 8...then it worked perfectly...now what i tried in my windows 8 is search my gtx 650ti driver from a different folder rather than the preset folder where the nvidia drivers are usually installed and now it is working fine....
as long as i search the driver of my gtx 650ti from another folder rather than the preset C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation
it will work fine....do you think it really is a software problem?

yes it is. it is merely a matter of the default folder to which the OS goes to look for the drivers to identify the card installed on the PSI slot.
honestly i do not know how to avoid the inconveniences of locating the drivers every time after restarting the PC while keeping both W7 and W8 on the same hard. it seems that there is one default location to locate the drivers regardless of which OS is running and on which partition that specific OS is stored.
i suggest keeping one OS only, unless you put them both there for a reason.

yep i will delete my windows 7 i just tried this because what i conclude with my problem is that the drivers are having error while loading in preset installation folders....i have fixed the problem with putting & using my videocard drivers at C:\Windows.old.001\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation
there is no hassle because i don't have to locate my drivers everytime my computer restarts.it is now fixed for good(i think and hoping)
