So earlier today my friend turned off my computer using the switch on the power supply and when I restarted it this thing called CHDKAK (This is wrong but something like it) came on and going through these 3 steps. I've been searching all over the internet for a fix all day and cant seem to find one and i really cant remember all the stuff it did but i remember it removing "orphaned files" and like validating stuff for some reason. After this happened all of a sudden my frame rate in every game went down the toilet. I used the open hardware program and I noticed that my GPU Memory is way low (I have a gtx 770). It is 3506MHz and it should be around like 7010MHz i believe. Although when I used a benchmark software everything got really low scores compared to people with the same hardware so I'm thinking that for some reason my computer is not getting enough power. I have a new 850w power supply I just got today and it was working earlier so it cant be that so im just really stuck.

Here are my computer specs:

CPU: i5-3470 3.2GHz 4 core
Mobo: Asrock H61m-hvs
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked
Ram: 6gb DDR3 (upgrading to 8gb today)
HDD: 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM

Also the first way I was able to tell was that before I used the switch on the power supply to turn off the computer I could run almost every game I was playing at least at 90fps. Now I'm lucky to get 20 with many lag spikes. I also used this benchmark software called user benchmark http://www.userbenchmark.com/ and it showed the average score for people with the same parts as me and it was much higher.

I tried to update my motherboard to the most recent version which turns out it already was but now windows wont boot it keeps taking me to the windows recover and when try to run it normally it goes to the loading windows thing then quickly flashes a blue screen and restarts

Do you know how I could find my product key so I can create a usb recovery thing. I used to have an alienware x51 r1 and i got rid of it but kept the hard drive and when i went to the Windows/system32/config folder using produKey it said it could find the id but not the key. I'm able to access the files because I'm booting Ubuntu off of a usb drive and accessing the drive that way. But apparently alienware x51 r1s have the key embedded into the motherboard but it has to be on the computer somewhere if it worked without the motherboard before all my problems right?

The alienware rep said it was built into the bios but if its only there then shouldn't windows have not worked when i switched to a new comp in the first place? Anyways i have a product key from a old windows 7 home premium laptop i used to use. Can I fix windows with that like overwrite the old key?

I just ended up doing a clean windows install but now I'm still getting the issue with the games fps not being even playable.

Ill try this and I can say that Minecraft which is a game that heavily runs on ram seems to work fine.

EDIT: Also something really weird is happening I think something is like throttling either my components or fps because on a game called H1Z1 on all low settings I was getting 20fps barley but when i maxed out all of the settings i was getting like 25 frames and I'm just really confused now. Also thanks for all the help so far man i really appreciate it!

So I've finally managed to fix it! I don't really know exactly what fixed it because i did a few different things but i ended up replacing my cpu and ram because i was going to anyway, reinstalled windows (this didn't fix it initially, still had bad fps but might have helped), updated or installed since it was a fresh windows almost every driver i could find, and reseated every component in my computer.
