PC shuts down with error

I get this error constantly -

"Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit"

 

I'm not sure what's happening but my PSU is relatively new (About a year and a half old) as well as my ASUS motherboard being a few months old as well. I know my PSU can handle my GPU as I have well over what it needs.

 

I have a thermaltake bronze 80PLUS 750 watt PSU and the motherboard is an ASUS Intel H61 chipset with socket 1155 and the GPU is an AMD HD Radeon 7870.

 

Should I disable the anti-surge protection or is there a possibility something is wrong (Don't want my mobo to fry) ?

 

cheers!

Anti-surge protection kicks in for a reason. DO NOT disable it. Your PSU is apparently buggered

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

RMA the PSU. I would not disable anti-surge UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

I changed some of the cables around and it seems to be fine now. Hmm...
