Power Surge [HELP]

[ben 9902]

So I was playing GTA when my PC just switched itself off, so I power it back up and gives me a message saying, "Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply Unit"

I then rebooted again and it all seems ok but I'm not sure.

What shall I do?

My specs if needed are

Processor: Intel Core i5 3570k

CPU cooler : Arctic Cooling Freezing 7 Pro Rev 2

GPU : MSI GTX 970

Mobo : Asus p8z77-v LX

PSU : Xigmatek X-Calibre XCP 500w

Thanks in advance to your help

You don't need to do anything honestly. Is your computer plugged in to a surge protector?

So your saying I'm ok? No it's not I should really get one.

Does the power cuts happen frequently? if so, get a surge protector.

You should ALWAYS be plugged in to a surge protector!

No it's the first time this has happened.

I think your PSU might be dying. You should buy a new PSU. Good Brands include: Corsair, Cooler Master, EVGA and Sea Sonic.

 

If you carry on using your current PSU it may fail and damage some of your components.
