Step one reinstall to windows 7
Step 2 reinstall drivers

If all else fails return the card and get an R9 nano instead, price is about the same now and it has higher performance

also did you try your other card while running something like FurMark with the new PSU for stress testing?

I know it sounds stupid but is your monitor plugged into your gpu and not the onboard video?
Use 3dmark to benchmark it and compare it to similar systems.

What games? Kinda important.

Need more specifics. Perform some CPU benchmark tests, as well as GPU benchmark tests, and indicate the scores of them, or at least the relative difference compared with similar systems.

It's another obvious thing, but ensure the latest drivers are being used and installed properly, or else try another driver version.
