Hello.

I've got this issue today when i turned on my PC.
I turned it on and then it shutted down tsice suddenly and went back on then i received this screen saying : " Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit! Press F1 to run SETUP."

I went to the bios settings in the advanced mode and checked the voltages in Monitor.
I noticed that 3.3V 5V and 12V were lower than that and written in Red.

I turned off the PC and turned it on again after 15 minutes. I checked the voltage again and i noticed they were stable again
3.3V : from 3.296 to 3.3
5 V: 5V
12V: 12V

This is my config:

Cpu: i5 4590s
Gpu : Msi gtx 1060 6gb
Mobo: Asus Z97 deluxe
PSU: CX 430

Do i have to change the motherboard or the PSU? And since the problem is solved. Can i still use it safely without changing anything? Because im currently broke and cant afford a 150$ psu.

Thank you in advance

The old CX430 was a lower quality psu and if it’s similar age to the other components it could easily be starting to fail and that puts the whole system at risk. I’m not US based so can’t confirm prices but the newer CX450 is better quality and usually well priced. There are better psu’s but you will pay more.
