Asus Anti-Surge triggering when gaming

[rahulc_]

I have had my pc for almost a year now with no problems at all until now. After gaming for 10-30 minutes my pc will restart. It shows the typical ASUS anti-surge message: "power supply surges detected during the previous power on asus anti-surge was triggered". I have no idea why.

My Specs:
Radeon RX480
AMD FX-8350
ASUS M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3
Corsair CX500

My GPU has NOT been Overclocked. Is the PSU the issue? The Mobo? If it is the PSU Could I get a replacement or refund it through the warranty?

Please can someone help me out with this issue and find out what it is!

Thanks in advance!

Well...asus boards have been known to be overly sensitive to slight changes in voltage, reporting this message when not necessary. However if you're getting accompanying restarts I'd say it's an actual warning message to take seriously. You could grab a voltmeter and check yourself whether your PSU's voltages are within tolerances:

or take it into repair shop for them to check it for you.
According to http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html corsair's cx series isn't great quality so it wouldn't be very hard to imagine it going either. If it is within warranty still, I would replace it yes, after making sure voltages are indeed off.
