Power Outage problem. Computer not working

Try repairing windows first then if it solves the problem no need to rma. Also restore the bios to default.

Try to RMA the PSU if all else fails as coolermaster are not a trustworthy brand of PSU.

Are you still plugged into that surge protector? If so, unplug your pc and plug it straight into the wall outlet and see what happens.

^ even if his surge protector failed Asus's inbuilt surge protector should have triggered, so other components should be safe. So its the psu which seems to fail at a certain load.

Duh, okay what psu did you buy? If the psu is ok then Maybe the motherboard is faulty. If the onboard surge protector was not triggered then you can request Asus for compensating for any burnt components.

CX 750 is a OK unit but 100times better than any CM unit. Then your best bet would be to RMA the mobo and then check other parts. Also ask them if their policy states for any sort of compensation.

If they were really hit by a surge possibilities are high that they are fried.
Do you have any friend or relative on whose pc you can check your components?

Not one reason exists to suspect a PSU. Your computer tech did what most do when computer hardware is mostly unknown. The technique comes right out of the movie Casablanca. "Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects."

Parts were replaced only on wild speculation. Even symptoms do not indict those parts. However you had a BSOD. Apparently assumed numbers were useless because you did not understand them. Well, had you recorded those five key numbers, then the fewer who know this stuff would have isolated it to only a few parts. Without numbers, then everything remains suspect.

Now, if a power system (which is much more than a PSU) is problematic, then a simple tool said so with certainty. A tool sold in Walmart and used by junior high science students. That tool, one minute, and directions result in numbers. Those who best know hardware can only remain silent without those numbers. With numbers, the suspect or exonerated part is known without doubt or speculation in a next reply. And says why that part is suspect.

After so many posts, you still suspect everything. Therefore nothing was accomplished. You do not even know if the power system is good. No one even said why a PSU is be suspect. That alone should have made you wary. A recommendation without the ‘whys’ is classic shotgunning.

View system (event) logs. Windows routinely works around problems, records that problem in logs, and moves on Long before suspecting anything, first hard facts (and numbers) must indict the suspect part or adjacent criminals.

Only two techniques exist. First is how professionals do this stuff. As defined in a TV show CSI. "Follow the evidence". Hard facts and numbers. That means ignoring symptoms and speculation (ie bad power supply).

Second technique is shotgunning. Keep replacing good parts until something works. Don't ask anyone else. Better is to use dice or convenience to select the next suspect. How many forget to mention other parts of the power system?. Shotgunning is used when many do not even know, for example, what a power controller is. No reason to know that. Just shotgun.

Either provide hard facts requested (ie meter numbers, BSOD, event logs, etc) and ask how to get those other numbers. Or keep buying new parts randomly and reloading Windows until something works. If shotgunning, then nobody here will be any more helpful. Many accused the PSU only because Major Strasser was shot.

One final point. Surges occur maybe once every seven years. If you had a surge, you probably have other damaged appliances. Surges often too smal to harm a computer also damage traditionally undersize power strip protectors. Surges are a ghost that is blamed only when others have no idea how hardware and electricity really work. Nothing in any post even implies the existance of a surge.

The word surge defines many different events that have nothing in commom. A USB surge to too much current. A surge protector surge is 120 volts maybe increasing to 1000. An Asus anti-surge is about motherboard voltages dropping. The word surge has as many meanings as pigs feet, fingers, and chicken fingers.

Not really surges in Asia are common thats why I have an ups which acts as surge eliminator. That GX power supply is shit, if the power supply was working correctly then its protection features would have been tripped. Now that the OP has a better power supply he should be safe from that side.
P.S.: keep the old psu for testing fans and emergency testing incase the CX fails.

No protection feature 'trips' in a power supply. Surge that does not do damage is easily converted by a PSU into electricity that powers semiconductors.

If destructive surges existed, then CFL bulbs, dimmer switches, and other appliances with less robust protection are also failing. How often are those damaged? If not, there where is this surge?

A surge incoming to a UPS is simultaneously outgoing into the computer. It is electricity. If both incoming and outgoing path does not exist, then an electric surge does not exist. Also read UPS spec numbers and its near zero joules. Where is this protection - a surge eliminator? Exists in hearsay that also claims surges occur hourly. Two more reasons why hearsay claims UPS protection while UPS specification numbers say otherwise.

If a PSU protection feature trips, well, a useful claim always says what and why. So that the reader has good reasons to believe it. What is this part that trips? Why does it trip? Where are manufactuer spec numbers that define this tripping? If those questions cannot be answered, then hearsay was misrepresented as facts. Never accept an answer only because someone said so. Useful answers also say why.

That PSU did not trip for the same reason other supplies also do protection without tripping.

Nothing but hearsay exists to say a PSU was defective, was shit, or was damaged by a surge. Missing specification numbers also invented something called a surge eliminator.

If a PSU is damaged by a surge, then reasons why we know were also posted. And what inside was damaged. Only speculation comes without fact and numbers; and a fear of surges that magically do not damage anything else.
