hello so about a couple weeks ago there was a power cut and the pc keeps shutting down randomly, i believe this is the graphics card causing this as the cpu is fine on games and doesent overheat, the ram seems fine at normal temperatures but the graphics card whenever i try stress testing it the pc shuts down, is it possible my graphics card could of been damaged in the power outage as at the time i didnt have my pc hooked up to a surge protector also it is built in graphics, here are my pc specs.
cpu - amd a10 6800k 4.4ghz quadcore
graphics - amd radeon hd 7770 1GB grrd5
ram - 16GB
hdd - 2TB
 
Ok, just FYI the 7770 is not the integrated GPU, I am thinking there is something else going on here. The hardware checks out, at least internally, check all of the cables inside and out, make sure everything is connected, check the windows event log (type event veiwer in the start menu search. Let me know what all of the warnings and errors are under Windows Log, System.
 
kernel pnp
kernel pnp
lots of service control manager
kernel-processor-power
kernel-processor-power
kernel-general
lots of service control manager again
userpnp
those are the main ones which seem to pop up
 
When you double click them, what do the kernel pnp and kernal processor power say in the description. Just copy and paste. This is looking more like a mother driver issue or a Windows registry error. Possibly a corrupt file on the hard drive but we will cover that after you tell me the discriptions. Copy and past them in.
 
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device WpdBusEnumRoot\UMB\2&37c186b&0&STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER_FORCE&REV_1.27#4C530006870608109582&0#.
 
ok so after unplugging that USB wire i booted it back up and tried uploading an image to imgur as thats when it keeps crashing when trying to upload something to anywhere but it still shutdown soon after the upload had started. i then plugged the wire back in and booted back up and tested it again and it still shut down soon after the upload had started
 
Ok so after downloading the chipset driver and testing the computer by uploading images and playing h1z1, uploading images still crashes the pc and playing h1z1 crashed the pc after about 1-2 hours of playing.
 
I have come to a conclusion about this pc, i dont have the time to be messing about with this so i have decided to go and try get a refund as everything that has been suggested has been done and didnt work. thank you for all your help guys, much appreciated.
