I've run several different stress tests on the build, and everything seems to indicate a faulty GPU. I'm not overclocking, and everything else seems to be working as intended. I did drop the card once while I was building, that may be related. I also bought it used from eBay. Any suggestions?
Is this a good question?

@sirixtheunicorn you can always verify your test by installing a different video card etc. If it does no longer shut down you know that it was the video card. If it continues then check your power supply as well as the RAM.
We do not know enough about your desktop specs so we can really only go by what information you supplied to us. Remember that a video card maybe to much for the power supply and will shut it down during high demand. Ensure that your power supply is sufficient for your video demands.

Hi Austin,
A faulty GPU is possible. Perhaps the power supply is not sourcing enough power. If you have integrated graphics, disconnect the video card and try running off of that.
