I got a new high quality 750w psu installed after burning 2 low quality ones. And I keep getting power surges when i try playing competitive csgo. I played battlefield 4 with no problems but when i start playing competitive csgo it usually turns my PC off within 5-20 mins.

I have an ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard.

Can you play the game and do this?

Download hwinfo32,

http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html

You can open hwinfo32,after that open the sensor window by marking sensors=V,after that click run,then click at the bottom "Logging start" ,after that choose a name and place for the log. like Hwinfolog at your desktop.Leave it open and do game/stresstest or whatever you do until a crash.The log will end at that point but will be saved.
After the restart upload the log to a site without to much crap (!),for instance dropbox,and leave a link to it here.

According to your title, it is obviously a power surge. I have had those exact same words from Asus surge protector and I do have an Asus motherboard, also I had like the top PSU which was the Corsair AX1500i, so your PSU is probably defective. I switched it out with a new and different one and now the problems are gone. So if you do get a new one, I would suggest go with something like the Evga Supernova 750w G2. So even the best and most top tier PSU can be defective.
