ASUS Anti-Surge Keep Triggering

Asus Anti Surge Problem
Hello everyone, im Arnald and im new to the forums and i have a question about Anti-surge. I build my first PC around 3 months ago and it has been working perfectly but 3 days ago when I go and start any game that are big (fallout, skyrim, watchdogs, battlefield you name it) my computer will turn off and then turn back on to a screen saying "ASUS Anti-surge has been detected to protect it from an unstable power supply unit". I don't know what cause it, I don't know if it ASUS triggering this message too often or is it because my PSU is small. Here are my build stats.


Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core
Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid
Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Superclocked ACX
Cooler Master Storm Stryker (White) ATX Full Tower
SeaSonic 750W ATX12V / EPS12V
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (OEM) (64-bit)
Asus VG248QE 24.0" Monitor



If anyone can help me or know what causes this please let me know. Thank you.

At the moment I have tried the following
~plugging in my computer to a different outlet in the house
Nothing happened.
~disable the anti-surge feature in the BIOS
Nothing happened.
~Disconnect the PSI-E ports and reconnect it
Nothing.
~Next is disconnection all of my cables and reconnecting all of them.

The error message actually tells you what's causing it:

"ASUS Anti-surge has been triggered to protect it from an unstable power supply unit"

Try a new PSU,

could be a false alarm u can disable the anti surge from the bios go to monitor tab and at the end you will ind the anti surge

I already tried disabling that and I updated my BIOS but it still shuts down as soon as I start a game.

Try a new PSU,

and yes I know that but with 750W of power you think that could handle it, the problem is that I read multiple thread saying that it could be ASUS BIOS. Other say that the PSU doesn't have enough power. Some people already bought a 1000W PSU and it has lower specs than my build. So which is it?

 

[prit87]

well i will say its not true 750 watt is more than enough to handle a single gtx 780 with 850 watt psu you can sli 2 gtx 780..but in your case i think either the psu has some kind of manufacturing defect or your gpu is a faulty one ...

 

[Arnald23]

Yeah I think I will first do an RMA to send my power supply and get a new one, if that doesn't work then I will get a new one.

 

[prit87]

okk...but before that you should make sure which is the culprit..

 

[Arnald23]

Thats the problem I have no idea, the only thing I know for sure is that my PSU make a very very small sound when I try a game like watchdogs and then it turns off. I have no idea but all I know is that it has to be the PSU, or something else. At the moment my computer is plug in with a regular power outlet, would changing that do anything?

 

[prit87]

i dont think so ....you have to borrow another psu to make it sure of find some pc technician whole will sort out the problem for u..
