This is a new build that I put together about five months ago:

CPU: 1 x Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 95W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel® HD Graphics 530 $369.99
PSU: 1 x CORSAIR AXi series AX1200i 1200W Digital ATX12V v2.31 and EPS 2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready $329.99
Motherboard: 1 x ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard OS: 1 x Microsoft Windows 10 Home - Full Version (32 & 64-bit) / USB Flash Drive $119.99

From the very start, the computer would reboot when I would leave it on overnight. I didn't think much of it even when I gamed on the PC for 6+ hrs in one sitting, which was a big mistake on my part. Now recently, the desktop is shutting down very frequently and I was getting the message: "Power supply surges deteched during the previous power on. ASUS Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit!"
I did not think my PSU was the issue given the $300+ I spent on it, so I looked for other solutions. One solution on this forum noted that updating the BIOS solved a similar issue, so I gave it a try. I used the EZ flash utility to update the BIOS to v1702 for the Asus A170-z motherboard. The initial update finished; after an auto restart, the desktop showed a screen that said "Do not turn off the desktop... bios is updating" (something along those lines). During this message, the desktop shutoff, rebooted after 1-2 seconds, entered this message again, then shutoff again -- with this cycle now repeating.
No idea what to do at this point and would greatly appreciate any help.
