How to disable ASUS anti-surge?

[TheBoxerKick]

I've been having the ASUS anti-surge problem, and I know it is not due to a real power surge because I live in a area where lightning and Thunder is very, very rare, and the first time it happened, nothing in my house acted weird, and I did a bit of research, and most people say anti-surge is the problem, and it only detects anti-surge when I play graphic intensive games. Can someone please tell me how to disable anti-surge. I've looked everywhere.

Specs:
Intel Core i5 3470
8gb Kingston DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

I can't really remember what my mother board actually is, but I do remember it is ASUS.

It's built into the PCB, so you can't.

I've heard that you can disable through the BIOS, but I don't know how.

Hi
Asus anti surge does not detect mains power surges but low voltage fluctuations from the PSU.
What is probably happening is that when you play graphic intensive games that are stressing the PSU the voltage is dropping then recovering and overshooting causing the ASUS anti surge to kick in as it is designed to protect the motherboard and other components from over voltage damage.
It would not be a good idea to disable it as it is a protection device like a fuse.
The real culprit here is the PSU,either it is being overloaded or the voltage regulation circuitry is not operating correctly.

K, thx for the information, and I have been seeing fluctuation in the CPU performance, due to me tabbing out of the games, and looking at something else, reducing CPU peformance from 50% to around 20%, do u think this is making a difference?

Yeah,its not reducing the cpu performance but the load on the cpu,when you tab out of the game you are reducing how hard the cpu has to work.

Hi, I've been having the same problem recently (Asus detected power surge), but the thing is I didn't play any games, only thing I do is browsing using chrome. There's one time it just shut off right after windows boot, saying it detected power surge. So is it a PSU problem? I'm using ASUS P8Z77-V LK, Corsair TX Series CMPSU-650TX.
Thanks

Yeah its probably a slightly unstable power supply especially after start up when it has just been put under load.

Did turning off surge protection or getting a new power supply help? I am having the same problems ever since getting a new gpu with the corsair tx650 as well.

Look i will tell you something with my poor english skills.. i was having this anti surge issue with new games so i started lowering the antroposofic filters and sometimes the matter was solved, some other needed the epu4 driver, that somehow made my overall performance quite diminshed but the pc continue working. im running a six core proccesor with a r7 270 and a sentey 500w psu.. it was ok for me that pc shutdown in new games. until this problem started happening in my halo 1.. precisely in a specific part of a game somehow i turn on the flashlight and PUM anti surge was triggered. i disabled anti surge from the bios and checked again the game continue running but the gpu was making a strange noise only when i turned on my flashlight in that specific part of the game.. so i decided to quit the game. everybody talks about the psu and if asus function is over sensitive or not.. but listen.. try changing the video configuration i changed from 1720*768 to 1600 900.. not only the game displays a lot better but also this "anti surge" shutdown stoppeds and my gpu doesnt make any noise anymore.. try checking the best video configuration.. personal experience hope helps

I was able to turn off my ASUS anti-surge in the BIOS in advanced settings, all the way down at the bottom of one of the menus.
