I have been experiencing some problems with my computer over the last few months. I used to do a lot of video editing and have a powerful rig. However over the last few months I have been seeing my games crash to home screen every 10-15 minutes and have swapped graphics cards including running Uningine Heaven Benchmark several times with no artifacting or crashing. After running these tests I have concluded that it's likely my power supply? What do you all think?

If it's crashing to the desktop, then it's not a PSU issue.

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L40D, AMD A6-6310, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon R4 Graphics, 14" 1366x768

I think its a software issue more than anything. Try reinstalling your graphics drivers first.
