So I just completed my first build a couple of weeks ago, up until this point it has been running amazingly.

Now all the sudden last night I was playing a game on it, and the computer shut off then rebooted with this message. "Anti-surge protection was triggered, system was shut down to protect from unstable power supply."

As I am still new to this, I wasn't sure how to address the issue, I opened up the case, made sure everything was connected properly inside, restarted the computer, and it did it again 10 minutes later. Everything I have found online says it may be from a faulty PSU.

This is a parts list of my build. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
