hello experts

First of all these are the readings i took a note from the bios section:-

CPU Input Voltage(VCCIN) +1.744V
CPU Core Voltage +1.096V
3.3V Voltage +3.424V~ +3.440V
5V Voltage +5.160V
12V Voltage lowest was 12.672V and highest 13.632

now the actual problem

i am using asus h97 pro gamer mobo since late 2014 and since a week i am facing a problem with a protective feature called "ASUS ANTISURGE PROTECTION". yesterday i replaced my old PSU with a new 450Watt psu assuming it went bad and i still face the problem. the feature gets triggered and restarts with bios. i took the above readings and the only difference with the earlier psu was the 12V rail showed minimum voltage was around 13.440V maximum was 17.960V . i am attaching screenshots of cpu-z

what might be the possible problem is it the motherboard or something wrong with the UPS or bad RAM( i am asking about RAM bcoz i read in another thread where the conclusion was the bad RAM) or is it bcoz motherboard getting short.do i have to update latest BIOS. i am noob as hardware isn't my field of work

i am scared to disable the protective feature but i did to write my thread in here . please help me and apologies for my bad English.

thank you

They were bad to begin with and they probably degraded to worse.
It's also possible that you have bad electricity where you live.

right for all those who just say "its your PSU" this is not always the case. if it was as easy as that the problem would be solved.

I have basically stripped my machine i have the sabertooth z77 with the latest bios and all was fine till about a month ago, Now i get this stupid message pop up all the bloody time. I have tried THREE, yes thats right THREE different PSU <corsair AX1200> <corsair AX760i> And a <thermaltake 1000w> PSU and it does this with ALL OF THEM, my 2nd machine an MSI Z87 Mobo with the 4770k OC to 4.4 works fine with them all, but not this z77 asus MOBO .. i have unplugged everything I possibly can including fan monitors, all fans i can , took out the h100 and fitted an intel stock heatsink, i done EVERYTHING and it still does it, so it leaves me to think the BOARD is UP THE DUFF, so i will be getting another brand 1155 mobo and chuck this piece of crap back at asus who will probably say "theres nothing wrong with it" and send it back then i will smash it with a hammer and never again will i ever buy a ASUS board again, due to this STUPID setting....... the power supplies themselves have all the protection built in to them anyhow and i have surge protectors in place.... NEVER have i had a problem like this before and now I refuse to get asus boards again ,i hope to NEVER have this problem again,

Thanks asus for the headache.

You are not alone in this. It's the quality of the power you're getting that's to blame, and all teh protection in the world be it in the PSU or external cannot help you with this.
An UPS with voltage regulation or a separate voltage regulator can help you wiht this.
Alternatively, given a good PSU like the AXs you specified, you could disable that in the BIOS if you have teh option. If you don't, update teh BIOS:
