I've been struggling with time increasing stuttering on my computer for quite a while and figured it could be due to my GPU being overheated. I upgraded my GPU from a 780 to a 1080 and it worked fine for one day. Now my computer has turned off twice, with the message "Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit!" (gyazo screenshot). I thought of it as kind of odd, as the 1080 uses 180W and the 780 250W. Does anyone know what causes/a fix for the problem?
I have a coolermaster G750 PSU.

Help will be greatly appreciated!
I am having the same issue.... Had Installed GTX 970 with no problems, when I installed the 1070 g1 gaming pc started to reboot.... If I plug the GTX 970 everything is ok again...the same with the GTX 460... Only with the 1070 I have this problems.. Power supply surges detected etc... I have an ASUS Z97 - A, I5 4690k, 16 GB of RAM. Did you find a solution???
Unfortunately I have the same issue as you.
I have an RM750 power supply. Replaced the 580 (lol) with a 1070 a few months ago and I started getting occasional surges ever since. Sometimes I might only even just be on the desktop/web browsing when it occurs, sometimes it occurs instantly right after booting, sometimes it occurs a few times in a row and other times it can occur after hours or even after days. It's random.
I've checked a few sites to get an estimate of my power usage from all my components etc. and it appears my PSU should be able to handle the load fine. Might just avoid ASUS boards whenever I next upgrade cause I've read in a few places they've had this surge issue.
I've already tried re-seating all the cables of the PSU and GPU but the issue remains.
I'm using the DP cable that came with the card when I bought it too, I don't know if the type of cable you use could possible cause a surge though since it's external?
Hopefully I can find a fix cause having to RMA the card is going to be an annoyance & I doubt it'd be the card anyway after reading this thread.
I've also tried a fresh install of Windows on a new drive and tried updating the bios and not updating it etc. and that didn't appear to fix it.. I actually felt like maybe it even increased the surges after I had fully updated my BIOS prior to the fresh Windows install.
I guess when I get home today I'll reseat the card to the other slot on the board and see if it has any impact.
I haven't got another PSU to test with unfortunately, so it's going to be a bit of a bastard to troubleshoot.
My specs are:
i5-4670k
16GB RAM
Asus Z87-a
windforce 1070 gtx
RM750 PSU
Edit:
Got another surge not long after my post. I wasn't even doing anything graphic intensive, just web browsing.
Tried taking the card out & placing it in another slot on the board.
Boot up.. instant surge detection. So there goes that hopeful idea
I'm going to try update my bios again but I don't think I'm going to have much luck fixing this. The only thing I can think to try next maybe is to put the card in my girlfriends machine for a few days and see if she experiences any surges, but she has an ASUS board too.. so it's not really a very good process of elimination if the issue could potentially be with ASUS boards.
