Hey folks, so I just finished my new build some days ago and started overclocking my components. Unfortunately, I came across this message "Power Supply Surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit! " My PC simply shuts off, then on again to give me this message.

Is a 1050W SeaSonic 80+gold PSU not enough power for my setup? I was fairly confident it was enough even for a fair bit of overclocking. And if it IS enough, what else could be causing this? The PSU is not even 1 month old, same with the motherboard.

SPECS:
Asus x99-a/3.1 USB
SeaSonic X series 1050w PSU 80+gold
SLI 980 TIs OC'd to 1.212v
i7 5820k OC'd to 1.300v
Total of 16 fans, 14 120mm, 2 140mm.

If you have any more questions about the build, please just ask.

I had this problem show up this morning when I powered on my computer. This computer is a brand new build, only a month old. The computer has run like a champ with zero issues since I built it. Last night before bed, I shut down my computer like always. This morning I pressed the power button and nothing happened. I pressed it again, nothing. Pressed it again, nothing. Finally after pressing it another time it powered on. That's when the message occurred. "Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply." I knew I had plenty of power because I future proofed this build. I was able to enter the BIOS, save and exit and it booted to Windows 10 just fine. The computer operated just fine. I ran some tests and all seemed fine. I ran an intense game for about 30 minutes and all was fine. So I restarted the computer and no error. I then clicked SHUT DOWN. When I pressed the power button on my tower, nothing happened again just like earlier. After pressing the power button 4 - 5 times, it began to boot up and displayed the error message again. I pressed F1 to enter setup.

At this point, I pulled out my laptop and began reading about this error. To my dismay there was a range of "check this", "try this", "do this", etc. I decided to check the BIOS version. My current version was 0803. I went to the ASUS website, went to my motheboard (ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING), checked for the most current BIOS version and there has been 2 releases since 0803. Most up to date version was 1102. I also noticed under the summary for 1102, it stated "Improved System Stability." I figured ah HA!! GOTCHA!! I downloaded and installed the new BIOS version and the problem has since been resolved. Now when I shut down and then press the power button once, it begins to boot up immediately. Hopefully this is a permanent fix. If the issue resurfaces I will update my post. Hope this solution helps a lot of people! Thanks and good luck.

Best Regards,
