Asus Anti-Surge is 99% bullshit.

 

That said... WHAT "300w PSU".

 

Some are 300W PSUs.  Most are not.

it's a unstable psu and it isn't enough power

What lead you to those two conclusions?

Wow!  You were able to determine that from OP's post????

 

Asus Anti-Surge is hot garbage:

That said, if OP knows he has a 300W PSU but doesn't even know what brand it is, it's probably as hot garbage as Asus Anti-Surge.

it's facts 

everything he has in his pc is near taking up all his power and he must have a weak psu if he's getting that message

You can't declare something as a fact, especially if they aren't true.

A GPU powered through just the PCIe slot and a locked quad core? That's not going to draw anywhere near 300W. Also, again, what lead you to the conclusion that the PC is using too much power?

The message can come from any shutdown. It's known for false positives. Again, what lead you to the conclusion that a weak PSU causes that message?

Ahhh it uses 6pin sata connector

So should I disable anti surge?

We can't help without knowing what model of PSU you have. "300w PSU" doesn't provide enough information to be able to help.

If you're unsure what model it is then post a photo of the label on the PSU.

SATA power connectors are the thin flat connectors that plug in to hard drives, SSDs, and sometimes some other devices such as fan controller hubs.

 

The 6pin connector for graphics cards will be a 6pin PCIe connector.

If your graphics card has a 6pin plug on it, does your power supply have a 6pin PCIe connector to plug in to it? Is it plugged in?
