Over voltage protection?

I was casually makin some sick dubstep beats on my pc today when it suddenly turned off and then turned back on, it said that asus over voltage protection shutdown the computer to avoid damage to the other components. This was happening about a month ago and my friend said he had the same problem and that it was asus aisuite so I uninstalled that and it stopped but today it started happening again and in 10 minutes it shut down 3 times. I found there is an over voltage protection setting in the bios but I'm worried if I turn that of I may damage other parts of my pc. Is my outlet feeding my pc dirty power or is my psu damaged? Or is asus protection setting giving false readings? :(

EDIT: i turned the over voltage protection off completely and it turned off 30 seconds into windows...

Are you upping the voltage on any components?

Hope I could help!

im this 'friend' he speaks of and no m8 its a false reading, it tends to do thast even look it up. also id you turn it off which some people do because they keeep on getting false readings it wont do anything because your build and pretty much 99% have their own hardware protection already implemented so it wont make any difference most of the time. so if it comes to it you may just turn the asus protection off as its only a software gimmick as most people have stated.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

are you overclocking?

my asus AI suite 2 always comes up with a little warning about high voltage several times a day but it has never shut my PC off...

false readings are normal

false readings shutting your PC down is not...

is there an option to configure what your PC does in case of overvolting?

if there is, you should change it to not turn off your PC

Aisuite is always telling me my CPU has to much voltage and my temps are crazy but I uninstalled it and it still shuts down

Well, it would have to be your PSU because that's the only thing feeding power to your PC. So, how long have you had it? Were there any electrical storms in your area?

No storms and I turn my pc off and usually unplug when it is storming

I have had it for almost a year

Can't remember I just put the setting from the linustech overclocking spreadsheet and tested it and it worked

Motherboard fault, then. Troubleshooting we can has complete. Replace motherboard, perhaps?

 

Does anyone else agree with me?

no im pretty sure if its anything its the psu or the wall outlet

Then take the obvious path of moving to an alternative outlet to eliminate that one? The hell of troubleshooting. If only we had a better solution than all this testing other than expensive hardware.

test with a different PSU

your mobo might have issues

have you tried using stock clocks on every component?

well set everything un overclocked and tell us how it goes

also tell us your PSU brand or model so we get an idea of how reliable it is

 

if this still happens at stock clocks i think you might need a bios update, its unlikely it would be the PSU unless its a no name brand

But if his PC crashes through BIOS flash he could brick his motherboard.

yeah well we dont know what kind of crash this is...

does it crash in the bios? or only in windows?

does the entire PC turn off or does the PC just reset?

I think he stated that his computer completely turns off.

lets wait and see what happens when he removes the overclocks
