A few months ago I completed my first pc build. Unfortunately, now all of a sudden the computer shuts off and upon reboot I get messages about the power surge protection feature being triggered, lately this has only happened after playing LoL for about an hour or so. This has never happened in the months prior, my CPU max temp is about 36 Celsius, and I'm not over clocking. My specs are as follows.

Asus Z87 Pro motherboard
Asus gtx 760 gpu
Seasonic g-series 750w psu
I5 4670k CPU
Samsung 840 EVO SSD
Coolermaster TPC 812
Ballistix 8gb ram

Running windows 7 professional edition.

Wile looking for solutions it seems that other people have similar issues from the start, so I'm not entirely sure whats wrong, I appreciate any and all help.

The anti-surge feature correctly detects power surges but it detects them at a threshold which is far too low. Furthermore, these surges are a natural consequence of rapid changes in current and voltage levels that are characteristic of many powerful GPUs.

Asus' Anti-Surge protection can be safely turned off if there is an external surge protector connected to the system.

Having seen this as the answer elsewhere I've been a little hesitant to try it considering most other cases were of people with the problem from the start, but I have an external surge protector so I'll try this out. Thanks

Having a external surge protector, i would advise to go ahead turning off the anti-surge protection and this should solve you problem.

also to be safe look at the power supply output in the bios and with a meter or a 3 party program that reads in windows the 3.3/5/12v output. make sure there withing spec. with some power supplys it does not take much for the 12v rail to be slightly high. if it high or bounce high it can trip the asus anti surge.
