Is my PC broken?

[PerformerFX]

Hey,

 

I'm very confused and desperate and I could need some advice: 

 

About 4-6 weeks ago, a ligthning strike has hit the streets somewhere. My PC suddendly restarts . But since everything still worked after that: I thought everything is okay.

However. In the next days my PC restarts randomly. But ONLY if I played Counter- Strike Global Offensive . "Power surgery detected" says the BIOS after booting up ..  And I googled . Asus apparently has built a shelter into my motherboard that detects voltage variations and turns the PC off. At the same page it also said, that you should turn it off when this happens frequently  as that system is pretty hypersensitive and directly triggers the emergency stop at absolutely minimal unimportant variations . Okay , I thought.  it will probably be just hypersensitive.  My PSU has a surge protector in it, So actually nothing can happen .

 

So for about 4 weeks: nothing happens. Yesterday my PC restarted suddenly on CS:GO again.. However, without an error message . It just restarted.

Hmm ... Well.. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe the PSU is broken. I 've googled again and have done a PSU stress test ( OCCT ) . I have utilized the whole PC over an hour at full 100 % CPU AND GPU. The PC didn't turn off. . Notice that my PC ONLY has restarted when I was playing CS:GO.  All other games are working with no issues and no restarts.  I have no idea if my PC is potentially broken. Because it turns off at CS:GO at about 30 minutes and claims "Power surgerys". But it can handle a 100% GPU and CPU stresstest for over an hour.

 

Can someone tell me what should I do?

do you have another power supply you could try...it seems like this one as gone unstable..

[PerformerFX]

Yes I have. But it's only 400W. Probably can't handle my current system and I don't even know if this thing still works. Its somewhere on the addic.

 

It's a Corsair CX600 that I use and it worked like charm for the last 2 years.

yeah but the symtoms you stated seem to point out at a faulty PSU, might be wrong but is sure looks a hell lot like it is...

 

Run prime95 along with a GPU test like furmark to stress that system as much as you can and see if it fails and shut down...if it won't then re-install the game but i highly doubt

software issue can make a PC shutdown and say "Power surgerys" that would be really wierd...

stressing the system as much as you can has proven to be not helping. I am pretty sure that in conterstrike especially the cpu usage jumps a lot up and down, which could cause some problem with power delivery components. Definetely try that other psu, it might really be that your current one has a small damage taken by the lightning....
