I am very curtain that my issue is with my power supply.  So normally when I just watch Netflix for more than 6 hours my computer goes to a grey screen and the audio goes buggy. Then when I turn my PC back on it tells me that it was because Asus power surge protection detected a surge. I have a Corsair ax860i, no clue why it might be the power supply but I still need to be 100% sure if I am going to be getting a new one. i hope that is enough for you to find out if there is something wrong.

Could be the PSU. Also could be temp issue, have you checked your temps after using your computer for a while? (GPU AND CPU)

 

Try to get your hands on another PSU to test with.

Asus surge protection is notoriously overzealous. Turn it off in the BIOS.

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

Considering I am just watching netflix which means I am nearly idle my temps would be 43C on the gpu and 32C on the CPU also i don't exactly just have another psu lying around
