This has been an ongoing problem for a while now. My computer shuts down unexpectedly at seemingly random times. I've checked many things like heating issues, memory problems, that the cords on the motherboard are all connected fully, driver updates, system restores and just cleaning out any dust. I just found that it is giving me some problem reports and I'll list what they said bellow.

-OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
-Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
-System Type x64-based PC
-Processor AMD A8-3850 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 2900 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
-Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB

The windows report was as follows:

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Problem: Could not load driver software
Files that help describe the problem:
DMI2B15.tmp.log.xml
LOG2B45.tmp

I look forward to hearing some helpful advice!
Thanks!

What else is plugged into the Pwr source?
Meaning how many other things share the outlet your PC is plugged into to?
Isolate the PC just in case

Try another Power Cable to the PC

It could be that your Computer PSU is underpowered or that your PSU is not getting enough power

The first crash was related to video drivers, maybe the vram is bust or it's overheating. Normally the first graphics card crash gives you a driver failure and the rest give a BSOD without much info. Had a situation only a few months ago with a gtx 460 randomly crashing.

It just shows the files and their location. Nothing I can see to use.

The Monitor and a printer is all that is plugged in to that outlet. I'll give another cord a try as well.
 


It says'view a temporary copy of these files', is that not clickable? If not you can read dmp files with this:

The actual dmp file often spells out the error, sort of
