"power surge" computer keeps restarting.

Hey

 

So for the second time today, my PC has restarted and said that it restarted for surge protection. Is it just a coincidence that a power surge happened twice? I have a corsair branded power supply if that helps. Any advice? Thanks!

Asus boards can give you this error sometime I once had a Asus board and it did this all the time so you can just turn that feature off in the BIOS since you are in the UK it will be fine.

I have an 1 to 6 wall adapter and I am using 5 of them. The adapter is surge protected.

try it with the input directly in the wall socket

Well I am using it now with the adapter. All is fine once it has restarted. If it happens again, I will do that
