power surges

[Kenna]

Hi recently my pc has been suddenly shutting down. This most often occurs shortly after boot up but has happened numerous times while gaming. Upon boot up I get a message "Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply". I am unsure how to best approach this problem, should I turn anti surge off?. Any help or suggestions please.

i5 4670k @ 4.5ghz

Asus z87 plus Motherboard

corsair Ax860i psu

if you can try with another psu 

it might be broke

It might be due to faulty/ old wiring in your home. An easy solution will be using a surge protector(cheap) or a UPS(expensive) between your wall and PC. Unless your Power Supply is failing, which you should get checked before buying the aforementioned items.

Hope it helps!

might be a good idea for contact Asus or corsair support, if not both, might be able to give some more specific advice.

inspect your usb ports for foreign objects.  tinfoil gets transferred from usb pen drives more than you would think. 

 

Then you are going to have to go down the psu rough.

I recently have another problem that first started 30 min ago. within less than a minute of boot up my monitor goes black and my pc case fans crank up to full power. I have to turn my pc off to stop it

I get also surge warning but that is because the amount of USB devices I have connected.
