Powersupply surges detected

[tarp08]

Hi,

Since couples days, when I Play Fortnite on my PC, i get this error which says:

"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"

This doesn't happen when I browse on my PC or on internet...

I've tried switching the VGA plug on my PSU and switching my graphics card PCI-E slot. It worked for 1-2 days then it started again.

Anyone have any idea what could this be. Either my motherboard, my Powersupply or my graphics card ?

Here is my system:

It sounds like your motherboard is detecting power supply fluctuations...and if you trust your motherboard....I would replace the PSU. It's either that, or your motherboard is giving you false warnings...but I tend to think they are valid.

Yea ok! I'll try replacing the PSU. hopefully it solve the problem!

Thanks

I have changed the power supply and i still have the same crash. I am wondering if this is a motherboard issue, or a graphic's card one since it only happens when I play games.... ?! any idea ?

Well....if you have integrated graphics...which I think you do...because I think all i5s do....you could remove the graphics card and run on the integrated graphics for a day or two to see if the problem goes away.

tried a couple hours with the graphic's card of my roomate, no problem. As soon as i put back mine and launched a game, it crashed. I think i got it ! Hopefully they accept my RMA request since it's still on the warranty...
