While I am using my computer, whether it's work or playing games it suddenly flashes off. No warning. It automatically reboots itself and I am forced to press F1 to enter the settings. Here it shows me details about my components in the computer and it generally checks that it is ok.
It says the reason why it turned off is because there was a power surge and it shut itself off to protect the components. I have added a surge protector to the plug socket and it is still doing exactly what happened before. Not sure what to do. Thanks.
 
Solution
it could be a faulty powersupply on the computer if the overcurrent protection on the motherboard is tripped when you do anything intensive.
