Update: I talked to newegg, who I purchased the parts from and they agreed it could be Mobo or psu. RMA'd both parts replaced them both last night everything booted and worked perfectly played games for 4 or 5 hours. Get up this morning, turn on the PC and I get the SAME error message! ? Where do I go from here?

@Enderman I don't have another PSU on hand to test unfortunately. I do have a second UPS though on my entertainment center that I tried to see if that was causing any issues.

@Gamerman how did you resolve? Did you have to replace the motherboard? @Protex I don't hard power it off, I just shut down using Windows and leave it, when I come back the next day I get this message and can only boot successfully if I turn off at the PSU or unplug and wait for flea power to drain. Also once I successfully boot I can reboot or power off and back on right away with no issues, it only gives this message after being off and left alone for a few hours.

Hello All, First off I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read through this. I just built this pc about 3 weeks ago. Starting last week when I turned on the pc I got a message saying Asus Anti-Surge Protection was Triggered. When I research the error message online I found a lot of responses some saying that if your pc boots it's not an issue, some say the power supply is bad, or that it could be any piece of hardware. When I looked at the PC I noticed the activity lights on my HDD were off, so I decided to try and reseat the drive. After the reseat the pc booted normally and I played Crysis 3 for several hours with no issues. I powered off the pc come back the next day and it's the same error. So now I think maybe it's the HDD or the MoBo pci e slot. So I move the HDD to another slot it boots fine and runs for several hours power down that night, come back the next day and get the same error. When researching someone mentioned it could be a loose cable so I power it down reseat all the PSU cables power it up and it works fine again for several hours but the next day same error. I'm going to try updating the BIOS tonight as some other people with this issue claim it's a faulty alert if the pc works fine. At this point I'm at a loss of what to try or what could possibly be wrong if the PC works just fine after draining flea power. PC Parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zrvnjc TL;DR Built new pc. When It sits off for a few hours and I try to power on I get a message saying ASUS Anti-Surge protection was Triggered. PC Works for hours after draining FLEA power. Lots of troubleshooting but I can't figure out what is at fault. Summary of TS steps completed: Reseat HDD Move HDD to different PCI-E slot Tried different UPS Reseat all power connections from PSU Turned off Anti Surge Protection but PC doesn't boot unless I drain flea power
