Asus Anti-Surge

I've been getting hit with Asus Anti-Surge Protection out of the blue recently, I've tried everything, I have no clue what else I can do. I haven't had a single issue with my build until now. Built somewhere between 2013-2016. I installed a new Thermaltake Smart Pro 650W last night, 5min into CS:GO anti-surge is trigger and back to ruin my entire night. My BIOS is updated, drives updated, I'm in the dark now on this...

My Build -

  • Intel Core i7-6700K 4 GHz Quad-Core Processor

  • Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black 55 CFM CPU Cooler

  • Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

  • EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC GAMING ACX 2.0+

  • Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

  • Samsung 850 Pro Series 256 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

  • Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

  • OCZ ModXStream Pro Power Supply - 600W

  • JUST INSTALLED Thermaltake Smart Pro 650W

 

I no longer believe the PSU is the issue, it must be my GPU or MoBo. I don't know how I can figure out if that's true as I have no backups to test with. Any ideas?

Simplest things first : are all the power cables plugged all the way in (especially 8pin for CPU)?

 

How frequently is this happening ? When did it start ? Only under load or even on desktop/web browsing ?

Ryzen 5 3600 || Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 2060 Super || B450A-PRO || G.SKILL Ripjaws 3200MHz CL15 2x8GB

Started after March 3, after Path of Exile's Delirium league started. Usually happened under load, then progressed to being completely random, could trigger during a game 5 mins in or trigger during Netflix after an hour or so. 

 

  • I took my GPU out, used my onboard gfx to run some stress tests. I could not get my computer to trigger Anti-surge while GPU was out.
  • GPU back in and messed with some overclocking, I could not get Anti-surge but I did get multiple white screens with "out of range" message on screen, or just flicker to black.
  • Put settings back to normal removed any overclocking, Anti-surge triggered within minutes of CS:GO.

 

I'm assuming at this point my GPU is the root of all this, idk.
