ASUS Anti-Power Surge deactivated

Recently I had problems with my PC always turning off as soon as I start any game that needs a little bit... More... saying, Power Surges had been detected... And this 'more' starts with Minecraft Vanilla, which should be a game that I could even play modded not so long ago. I read a few threads and one just said to turn off ASUS Anti-Power Surge, because it soesn't work well. So I did just this and installed HWMonitor and started Minecraft unmodded. While doing so I observed the stats in HWMonitor and didn't see any drastic changes, but I still wanted to ask whether these statistics are normal or whether I should buy a new Power Supply Unit...

 

English isn't my mother language so sorry for grammatical mistakes or typos °-°

Thanks for any replies!

Yeah looks like you PSU isnt giving the demanded Voltages.
Best to not try and force it to much. If the PSU is not full of dust then you might need a replacement.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

Is there some way to fix? If not, what is the cause and if yes, how?

 

Thanks for the answer

So do I need a new one fast or should I be able to use it rtaher normal until I get a new PSU?

Well, it depends how much do you like the rest of your hardware?
I dont think less voltage could really break things, but if thats already happening what else could happen.
Since this should NOT really happen to be honest. Most good PSU's sense that the voltage is WAY to low and shut down the PSU completely.

So yes getting a new one fast is the best to keep the PC running. (Even if its just to save the other hardware from breaking).

Okay... And could this be caused by bad wiring inside the computer?

As far as i know yes, but i think that would also give more erratic voltages. And yours are just lower.
It might be as easy as a capacitor that needs to be replacing in the PSU. But it could also be several components, it's really hard to tell. 

(I personally would not chance the rest of my system breaking because of a faulty PSU).
 

 

ps. But i think its clearly the PSU since the PC shuts down when you put a load (Minecraft) on it. Since i think 10,5V is the lowest it will go and then shut of since thats to low to run a PC. (Same for the 5V they are both continuously checked, by a good PSU).
