Hello, this is my build, during my gameplay of world of warcraft computer shut off, wouldn't turn back on for a while. I finally got it back on, error message "power surges detected during previous power on" followed by "asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system" please help, i don't have any spare parts. it keeps shutting off randomly. I disconnected the psu from motherboard and put it back.

Plug usb stick into yr laptop and right click, choose format, under file system drop down box choose FAT or FAT32 and click format and that's it. Now place the extracted file onto yr usb stick and reboot computer. Go into bios and do what I wrote above. That's it. It's under a min like 30-40secs or so (never timed it but its quick). Instead of worrying just do it because eventually you gona have to do anyways and if all fails, rma the board back.

That is a budget PSU , you should replace it with a better quality unit.

well, if it is my psu i'll replace it but, theres an 1001 asus update online, mines like 809 or something, one of the jacks the audio one doesn't work its really quiet, this is all new equipment, so im thinking i do need to update my motherboard. i just don't have a USB and im trying to burn the BIOS on a cd/dvd any videos to show me exactly? i download it extract it, send too blank dvd and it burns but it doesn't even take up 1GB of the dvd, i think im doing it wrong. download only says 4.20MBytes

Ok. Do THIS as this will be the easiest for you.

Make a new folder on yr C drive or any other drive & name it BIOS, Download yr bios file from Asus website and extract it and place the bios file into that folder. Now reboot and go into bios, choose EZflash Utility & in the left box navigate to that folder BIOS u created, click and choose the bios file and update. Simples 😉

Mate I've just downloaded your bios file and its only 8.00MB. USE YOUR USB STICK, it's 1GB!!!!!!!

Format yr usb stick to Fat or Fat32 1st and go into yr bios and do what I wrot above but this time navigate to yr usb stick.
