GTX 970m Not Working As Intended. MSI broke my GPU?

I had water damage on my keyboard took very good precautions(and the computer ran half an year while playing a lot of games without any problem, than keyboard) and took it to MSI service center. They changed the keyboard and the keyboard is working just well. BUT after I got my computer back the GPU has been acting very weird! I was playing games between the time when it got water damaged and fixed, so this came from the repair.

Computer: MSI GE72 6QF APACHE PRO

NOTE: I played on this computer PUBG and BF1 over half an year without issue (on external keyboard), and everything was working just fine, I even had it overclocked! No way it is due to "Corrosion build up". As there is no humidity!

 

Pictures of Afterburner (no load) (At start had valley benchmark on, before acting weird): https://gyazo.com/e254ba3a1dc83240aca0772607f7228f
Pictures of afterburner (with load): https://gyazo.com/9fdc4fd198c58b208a17b967c9883346

 

 

I have tried HWINFO64, AIDA64, GPU-Z, EVGA Percision, but ALL of them show the exactly same things. (actually EVGA said it doesn't recognize it)

I have also tried to reinstall windows,DDU and reinstall both of GPU's,Power settings.

If the issue started right after the repairs, take it back. Or what kind of an answer are you looking for?

That is slightly controversial after 2 months from the repair. They might just tell me "you have caused that by yourself". Or "we told you, you had water damage on motherboard". 
Disclaimer: They did tell that I have water damage on motherboard, but on my investigation (month after the incident) I looked VERY closely and couldn't see ANY water damage, and it working half an year after it proves the point.

So I would like to try fix it by myself IF it is possible. They might just blame me for it. I would greatly appreciate every bit of help!

Define "weird".

 

Im not seeing anything that looks terribly out of place here.

 

I see that it is being "no load" throttled, which means that you should look at your CPU temps.

Not being throttled (CPU has been before, but I've undervolt it and using "Throttle stop").
I think it is very weird that there is this pattern(everything keeps going to 0), and the frequency is SO LOW even it is idling(should be about base clock of 1,000MhZ'ish) and shouldn't MSI afterburner be showing volt?

Also I feel like there is no performance (while playing PUBG), I've check every settings, they are all the same as before the repair service, tho I only get "barely" 60's FPS, before I've been sitting at constant 90-100 FPS, and had 130FPS highs.
