Happens if you have a weirdly wired house. Try switching all the lights on in your quarters.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Asus' Anti-Surge feature are rather finicky and are notorious in giving false reports. You should be able to disabled in the BIOS, and unless you are actually experiencing some power / stability issue, I wouldn't worry about it. In fact, even a forum rep at Asus stated that you could disable it: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?48472-Is-it-ok-to-disable-asus-anti-surge&p=411090&viewfull=1#post411090

Hmmm...

Have you tried unplugging the PSU cables and replugging them back into the wall AND motherboard?
