I have a GTX 770 OC. Recently I installed a 2nd internal hard drive, about 2-3 days ago. WD Green for back up storage. Everything worked fine until I started to play my steam games and League of LEgends. For some reason my FPS is completely shot. Half to 1/6th of what it originally was before I installed my new hard drive. I don't understand the connection between the two whatsoever. My games all aren't as smooth as before.
Drive is securely installed with a power connector and sata cable. My GPU is fit in snuggly. This morning I took it out and thought maybe there was too much dust on the GPU fans. After cleaning it, It's still working like a 5th generation GPU atm. I honestly have no clue what's wrong. My only inclination is that when I was putting my WD Green hard drive in there it hit the top part of my GPU. Does hitting the top of it permanently screw up the performance of a GPU? How fragile is it?
My only course of action after this is to restart my whole computer. Put everything on my backup storage drive and install everything, and see if something just coincidentally went wrong.
Edit: To add on to this I also updated my GPU's drivers.
