I was cleaning my laptop fans the other day due to high temps and excessive fan noise and while screwing back the components I dropped a screw near a capacitor and it caused a small discharge/spark I'm not sure what to call it. Fearing I shorted my entire board I ran to close it up and switch it on and it worked fine display boots up everything seems to be working. Until I ran apex and other games and saw max fps of 5/6 but when I used HW monitor and checked my task manager it clearly says my gpu is being used and I can see changes in temperature but the voltage its pulling is at the lowest 0.500 V or at max 0.800 V (Image of HWmonitor:

) I have given a picture of my HWmonitor and you guys can always ask for more diagnostics in task manager I definitely see the gpu being used and I either don't have a integrated graphics card or I believe I have disabled it which means the display output is coming from the GTX 1070 which Is why I am confused. I opened it up and checked the capacitors and the solder links to the board around the place of spark has some damage to it. Have I fried my entire graphics card or just a capacitor. Computer shops here absolutely suck and most of them just give up so any help?
