Hey there.
So, while I was casually gaming tonight until my PC suddenly turned off, It happened twice this evening when it restarted to the BIOS screen for me to press F1 it popped up with a message saying "power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply" Could it be because of my PSU? It's a VS550 from Corsair I did read from a lot of forums that it's not that efficient (being a low tier psu) and plus I bought it back in 2013. I did also read before posting this, that it could be also from some USB devices connected to the PC, or that you could deactivate the Anti-Surge protection from the BIOS because it might also be a false alarm (Haven't tried that one yet)
My specs are
CPU:I7-3770 (Did a diagnostic run from Intel's software that they have on their website, it passed with green lights)
GPU:GTX 970
Motherboard: An Asus p8h61-m lx3 r2.0 plus
One SSD and two HDD's (Both seem to be Good, based on the CrystalDiskInfo software)
I really don't know what is causing this Anti-Surge error, my guess is that my PSU may have passed its life cycle, I might be wrong though Any help would be useful Thanks in advance as always!
