My build is Asus a88xm-plus mobo, 4GB Ram, Radeon hd 6770 and an a8 6600k apu. I built this computer about 3 weeks ago. The psu is a 700 watt I go a year or two ago and I have never had problems with it. Yesterday my gpu DVI port stopped working so I hit the power button to turn it off at boot. The HDMI to DVI cable worked fine as no display appeared. I then was using the computer like normal. Later in the day I rebooted the computer and a message appeared saying about asus power surge protection prevented pc from booting to protect the hardware. I reset the computer again and it worked perfectly. Done a windows updates and thien a message appeared saying Memtest Ok has completed sucessfully press F1 to continue setup. I done that all last night. This morning the pc booted up fine with out any problems what so ever. I don't know if it was a one off or should I consider getting a different power supply? D: I think it only started when I put my radeon 6770 in, I will check if it is connected properly. Also I have read around that its fine and I should just disable the surge protection, since the computer works fine afterwards. ; w ;
