So I got a new ZEUS 520W power supply after the old one burnt out and suddenly FPS in my game got really low and I can barely play, I downloaded MSI afterburner and the GPU usage shows 24% and doesnt go anymore above that, what could the problem be? thanks

Your new PSU is more powerful than the system requirements. Right now, the best solution is to test that GTX in another system to be sure it still works as before (you can try to re-seat the card in its PCI-E slot). I just hope that your old PSU didn't take with it either the motherboard, or the GPU...

If you are not using your HDD's in RAID, try to go into BIOS, set it to default and see if it changes anything (also, uninstall/reinstall drivers for the motherboard and do the same for the graphics card).

I have formatted my windows earlier and it didn't help, also updated BIOS but it still didnt't help. I'll try to test my GTX in another computer and see how it goes.
